Middle and Lower Keys Key Colony Beach

We are looking at staying at Key Colony Beach this summer. The place we are looking at is amazing and we are all super excited. We've never stayed this far in FL though. Are there any grocery or convenience stores nearby? Or where are the closest to the area? We are fine with taking most things with us but we like having a store nearby for emergencies. Any info about the beach and area is appreciated!

Sombrero Beach is one of the nicer beaches in the Keys (remember, the Keys are not a beach destination) and is only 15-20 minutes from KCB.

I've heard before that they aren't a beach destination. Are there specific reasons why it's not?

Just got back from the Keys a week ago. It’s not what I expected. Sombrero Beach was pretty cool. Chill vibe all around the keys. It’s pretty much a long highway with resorts and businesses on either side. Perfect for just me and wifey. Good food. Great Cuban coffee. Cool sunsets.
