Key Colony Beach – Nice Living

Key Colony Beach is one of the nicest islands in all of the Florida Keys! When you first enter Key Colony Beach, you are greeted with a welcome sign. Soon after, there’s the famous speed sign that boldly states, ““Honestly Now, What’s Your Hurry? You’re Here!” 

Nice and Easy – Key Colony Beach Speed Limit

The speed limit in Key Colony Beach is 25 mph, and it is strictly enforced, so be sure to follow the rules when you are there.

East Ocean Drive and West Ocean Drive

The initial road you take in Key Colony Beach is named Sadowski Causeway. On one side, there’s a canal, and on the other, there’s a mix of half duplexes and single-family homes. As you near the end of Sadowski, you’ll find boutique shops and rental stores. Upon reaching the fork in the road on Sadowski Causeway, you have the option to either turn right or continue straight and then veer left. Key Colony Beach essentially has two sides – an East side and a West side.

If you turn to the left side, you will be on East Ocean Drive. This street is lined with condos and the popular restaurant, Havana Jacks, and the Cabana Club. The Cabana Club is a private membership pool and beach club. They serve snacks and drinks there. It’s a fantastic place to enjoy the day as a member.

On the east side, there is a well-manned playground for the kids. There is a tiki hut and shade for the park-goers to sit under too.

If you take a right turn off Sadowski Causeway, you’ll find yourself on West Ocean Drive, where numerous condos grace the street, with the ocean just a stone’s throw away.

The only streets in Key Colony Beach that form a loop are 7th and 8th Street. In the center of this loop is the golf course, accompanied by an additional playground for children, basketball and tennis courts, and bocce ball facilities.The playground was just recently renovated, and the kids really enjoy it. Along with all this, are the famous Pickleball courts. Key Colony Beach residents love their pickleball, and you can join in the fun too. Stop by the courts in the morning and evening times and have a little friendly competition with your neighbors.

Nice, Safe and Cleaning Key Colony Beach

The streets in Key Colony Beach are very safe. You will see lots of people riding their bikes, running, and just enjoying the island life. Not many islands in the Florida Keys can be walked around, but Key Colony Beach can! It’s nice to be able to enjoy the city in this way.

The City of Key Colony Beach enforces its codes, so you won’t be seeing homes with garages in their front yards, trailers in the driveways, overgrown landscapes, or cars parked on the street, which happens in Marathon and other islands. Some people complain about the rules in Key Colony Beach, but it really keeps the island clean and well-maintained.

Since Key Colony Beach is its own city, that means they also have their own police force. It’s very nice to see the police patrolling the area.

Nice Vibes in Key Colony Beach

All in all, Key Colony Beach is a delightful island. I highly recommend it as a place to live or vacation. You won’t be disappointed in Key Colony Beach.
