Visitor Center

The Visitor Center on Big Pine Key's Overseas Highway is a practical and welcoming stop for anyone traveling through the Lower Keys. Here you can gather information on the National Key Deer Refuge, nearby state parks, local dining, and the many outdoor activities that make this part of the Florida Keys a rewarding detour off the beaten path. Big Pine Key has a slower, more residential feel than the tourist-heavy islands further south, but that's part of its appeal. The visitor center helps you tap into the authentic character of the Lower Keys and plan an itinerary that goes beyond the obvious highlights.
