Ohio Key

Ohio Key is an island in the lower Florida Keys.

U.S. 1 (or the Overseas Highway) crosses the key at approximately mile marker 39, between Missouri Key and Bahia Honda Key.

It was once known as Little Duck Key, however the name Little Duck Key is currently used for a very small island about a mile east that is the western terminus of the Seven Mile Bridge.

Today it is also known as Sunshine Key, after a camping resort located there.

The portion of the island south of US Route 1 is protected as the Ohio Key National Wildlife Refuge.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio and/or key:

    “This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Now narrow minds can develop as well through persecution as through benevolence; they can assure themselves of their power by tyrannizing cruelly or beneficently over others; they go the way their nature guides them. Add to this the guidance of interest, and you will have the key to most social riddles.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
