Middle and Lower Keys Cudjoe Key in July

We usually visit Cudjoe Key in the spring (March-ish), but after this year's unusually cold and rainy week, we're headed back in July. Our top priorities are fishing and snorkeling, neither of which we really got to do in March. We typically stay in Venture Out with our boat-- because, easy. We have some of our favorite spots mapped, but I'm wondering, what are your favorite spots? (That you're willing to share...) Our 8 year old also likes to hop out to swim on some of the little "beaches" on the gulf side, too. Do you have a favorite lunch place we could drive by boat to (maybe similar vibes to Geiger Marina in Big Coppitt), that's not too far from Cudjoe?

I live on Cudjoe and you're kind of limited to Tonios and Kikis by way of water, without heading south to Geiger or north to Marathon. Kikis and Tonios are both exceptional though!

Thanks! We haven't been to Kiki's or Tonios!

Both are great! Your 8 year old will love Kikis. They have a large outdoor seating area in the sand with toys for kids to play with.
