Exploring the middle keys

We spent the day yesterday around Seven Mile Bridge. We biked the old abandoned bridge on the north end, then walked the abandoned south end bridge. We saw Pigeon Key from the old bridge. We then went to Bahia Honda State Park and then to Big Pine Key and No Name Key to see the Key Deer.

The north end of the old seven mile bridge. It is now a walkway and bike trail and very popular with fishermen.

This is Pigeon Key below the old bridge. The only way to get to it now is by ferry from Marathon Key.

The ferry boats bring visitors to this dock. You can spend the day sunning and picnicking on the island.

Walking on the old bridge.

A glimpse of the old bridge and the new bridge. This is one of the most scenic areas on the overland highway through the Keys.

                                            We saw numerous stingrays cruising the flats.

Old Veterans beach at the south end of Seven Mile Bridge.

The new bridge from the beach. The old bridge was destroyed by a hurricane in the nineteen thirties.

Bahia Honda beach. It could be a picture from paradise!
