Elliott Key Details
In its history, Elliott Key was home to people who tried their hands at pineapple farming, sponging, wrecking, and other pursuits. Today, the island not only has the park's only hiking trail, Spite Highway (also known as Elliot Key Boulevard), but plenty of opportunities for swimming, wildlife viewing, fishing, picnicking, and camping. With water all around, it's easy -- and more often than not, stunning -- to see both the sunrise and sunset on Elliott Key, which is accessible by boat 24 hours a day. Those camping on the island can also watch the sun's first and last light of the day. Elliott Key is only accessible by boat.
