Lovers Key State Park

Highlight • Beach

In fact, the park consists of a group of four barrier islands - along with Black Island, Inner Key, and Long Key - the original Lovers Key earned its name by being so out-of-the-way that it was claimed only couples in love had set out on the journey. Not even a road led to the area until 1965, so that until then the islands could only be reached by boat.

Black Island, where the entrance is located, was said to be the home of pirate Black Augustus, who made the island his home after escaping from prison. It housed several fish stocks, which began in the early 1900s, until this island chain was to be converted in the 60s in a housing estate on the water.
