The Bay Keys are just off Key West on the Gulf side of the island. The islands are part of the Great White Heron National Wildlife Refuge. It is a long trip, depending on the sea state wind strength and direction, but well worth the effort! There are many types of birds in the area, fish splashing in the water and tranquility. Kayaking around the islands is like going to another world, full of sounds and sights you only would see on National Geographic.
