Indian Key State Historic Site, State historic site in Monroe County, United States.
Indian Key State Historic Site spans across a small island featuring limestone foundations and archaeological remains of a 19th-century maritime settlement.
The island served as Monroe County's administrative center in 1836 before a devastating Seminole attack in 1840 led to its decline.
The site preserves evidence of maritime activities, including shipwreck salvaging operations that defined the economic structure of early Florida Keys settlements.
Visitors reach the island via boat or kayak from nearby Islamorada, with guided tours available to explore the archaeological ruins.
The foundations of a warehouse that stored salvaged materials from shipwrecks remain visible through the dense tropical vegetation.
