The Places of Interest of
Big Pine Key.
The Attractions of Big Pine Key, and the Lower Florida Keys.
In this captivating area of the Florida Keys, every day, in the evenings and early mornings a very unusual phenomena of Mother Nature takes place. More precisely, at dusk and down the lovely Key Deer of the Lower Keys can be seen roaming around the town's side streets, at the neighborhoods houses fronts and back yards. And almost everywhere there is grass or tender vegetation, plants and flowers that they consume.

The key deer does not fear the proximity of humans like other species do, sometimes we can even touch the younger ones and some people feeds them by hand ( practice not recommended because the deer often sickens after consuming other foods not of its natural habitat) |

Since we are captivated by Big Pine Key Florida's air of raw nature we will like to explore the wild life with more detail, and for this reason we got to the place called the Blue Hole. What is the Blue Hole?
The Blue Hole of Big Pine Key is nothing more than an abandon open mine of excavation from which rock was carved out during the times of the construction of the Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad. Now the hole is full of fresh water that is used by the wild life living in this area.
The Blue Hole is located in the side of Key Deer Rd pass Country Road the road and Higgs Rd on the left hand side as you drive away from Big Pine Key Shopping Center and Winn Dixie Plaza. |

What is the Bat Tower?It's a weird, unusual and strange structure in the middle of nowhere.
Said to have supernatural powers by some superstitious locals and visitors. The Tower in fact could be used on the setting of a mystery Hollywood movie. It has this eerie look and is standing there. But what exactly is the Bat Tower of Sugar Loaf? It was the creation of a prominent local business man with the idea of controlling the mosquito population in the Lower Keys. The idea was that the Tower would serve as permanent residence for thousands of bats that in turn would eat the already obese mosquitos. But for some reason the bats apparently disliked their new residence and flow away with destination unknown. Now the Bat Tower is considered a historic site and can be
found on the side road departing from US 1 on Mile Marker 17. The road next to the Skydive Key West sing. |
