Big Pine Key is a unique island because of its large size and available fresh water. It is home for the famous Key Deer who are protected and live on a preserve located on the island. It's not uncommon to see these dog-size, tame creatures roaming the neighborhood.
There are also alligators located inland which can be viewed from the safety of a viewing platform at Blue Hole. If fishing or diving is desired there are boat rental locations in the area or charters may be taken.
There are many good restaurants located within driving distance, which serve some of the finest fish, crab and lobster in the country. There is also a famous exclusive island called Little Palm Island that can be reached only by boat shuttle, where Sunday Brunch is served.
