Key Colony Beach, Coastal municipality in Florida Keys, United States.
Key Colony Beach is a small municipality in the Florida Keys that spans two islands and combines residential neighborhoods with oceanfront developments. The community occupies Shelter Key and Fat Deer Key, offering a mix of homes and waterfront facilities.
The municipality was established in 1957 when Phil Sadowski initiated a development project to secure independence from Marathon. This early founding allowed the town to maintain its own identity and governance.
The Cabana Club serves as a gathering point for the community, featuring oceanfront views, a private beach, and places to eat together.
The town is accessible only by the Sadowski Causeway, which connects to U.S. Route 1 as the sole entry point. Visitors should expect a quiet, small-scale area with limited public amenities and services beyond basic residential needs.
Following Hurricane Donna in 1960, the town benefited from its independent status to receive federal funds directly for reconstruction. This helped the community recover faster than neighboring coastal areas in the region.
