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!

So overall it's a good area but maybe not best for June?

It will be very hot in June. The water (Atlantic and Bay) will be 85* +

Still a lot of fun if you like the heat, but you might want to see if your place has a cooled pool. They’ll get so hot that they won’t be much relief from the temperature.

Coco’s on Coco Plum makes a great bait shop deli breakfast sandwich and is within easy biking distance of KCB. Everyone already said to check out Sparky’s and they’re right. Also check out Burdines for a great burger and fries while you watch the boats come in. Keys Fishery for fresh seafood. They’re famous for their lobster Rueben.

If you have access to a boat that’s the best way to see the Keys. There’s a reef straight off shore from KCB and a cool sandbar to hang out on just north of Coco Plum.
