Cudjoe Key is threaded with canals that provide direct boat access to both the Atlantic and Florida Bay, making it a practical paradise for boaters and anglers. The surrounding waters — part of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary — offer some of the best and most varied fishing in the entire Keys chain. The sprawling shallow flats on the bay side attract legendary populations of bonefish, tarpon, and permit, while Atlantic-side reefs provide excellent lobstering, snorkeling, and bottom fishing just a short run from your private dock. Properties with direct deepwater canal access and covered boat lifts are highly sought after and tend to hold exceptional long-term value.
