Adams Key Details
Spend some time on Adams Key, accessible only by boat, and you'll quickly realize why it was once home to the Cocolobo Club, an exclusive retreat for the elite: past guests included Presidents Harding, Hoover, Johnson, and Nixon. Unfortunately, Hurricane Andrew destroyed all remaining buildings of the club in 1992. Today, the island is yours to explore from dawn until dusk, complete with a short trail through the hardwood hammock. A picnic pavilion and toilets are available. At the end of the day, you may be more than a bit envious of the two park ranger families who call the island home.
