In the 1960s, developers planned to create a city called Islandia on Elliott Key, but the project was never realized, and the area is now part of Biscayne National Park.
Elliott Key is the largest island in Biscayne National Park and features a subtropical ecosystem with mangroves, hardwood hammocks, and coral reefs.
Due to its remote location and minimal light pollution, Elliott Key offers excellent conditions for observing the night sky.
The island was once used by Native Americans and later by early settlers for farming and as a base for wrecking operations.
Elliott Key offers camping facilities, allowing visitors to experience the natural beauty of the island overnight.
The island is home to a variety of wildlife, including raccoons, opossums, and numerous bird species, making it a haven for nature enthusiasts.
