No Name Key is a very unique island and a nature lovers paradise. People who live there absolutely love it and many people who don’t live there say they never would. No Name Key does not have any electricity. All the homes are powered by solar energy or generator. The homes tend to be much larger lots offering plenty of space and privacy.
The only way to get to No Name Key over the No Name Bridge. Just on the other side of the bridge is No Name Drive. No Name Drive ends in a dead end cul-de-sac. At the very end one of the residents put up a homemade sign made from plywood and spray paint that says “You’re nowhere”. You will see many species of unique birds, and abundance of key deer and once in a while a bald eagle on No Name Key. There is a feeling of peace and tranquility once you cross the bridge. Having no electricity of course means there are no streetlights. On a clear night there is an amazing view of the stars. When I first moved to the Florida Keys I lived in a section of Big Pine Key card the Doctor’s Arm. I lived right on the open water looking across Bogie Channel at No Name Key. It was very peaceful at night looking across the water with nothing but the star is lighting up the channel.
If you get a chance to come down to the Florida Keys be sure to add a ride over to No Name Key to your list of things to do. Don’t forget to stop at the No Name Pub which is right on the Big Pine side of the No Name Bridge. The beer is cold and the pizza is delicious. As long as you’re there, give me a call and we can go look at some homes for sale.
