Big Pine & The Lower Keys — The Natural Keys
If you've had enough of an overcrowded and weary world, the islands of the Lower Keys are the place for you.
Here, you can snorkel or dive over the Looe Key coral reef, ride a bicycle through Key Deer country, or take a fishing adventure in the back country or troll the deep blue waters beyond the reef.
At the end of the day, you can trade stories with family and friends at one of this area's tiki bars, RV parks, campgrounds, quaint resorts or licensed vacation homes. The Earthy fragrance of mangrove forests and wetlands is never far away.
The Lower Keys begin where the Florida Keys island chain takes a graceful westerly turn toward the sunset, shortly after the famous Seven Mile Bridge. It is a quiet region of small resorts, down-home restaurants, single-family homes, untrammeled wildernesses and rich history.

Big Pine Flea Market after Irma and getting real in the Florida Keys hardest hit
Please watch: Florida Keys Turtle Hospital in Marathon Top Ten things to do on vacation in the Florida Keys
--~--
The Big Pine Flea Market is part of the lower Florida Keys' culture. It is also located in the area of the Florida Keys hardest hit by hurricane Irma. My intent with this video was to show what the Big Pine Flea Market looks like today four months post hurricane Irma. As I was filming, I came across one of the vendors explaining to some of the customers about how there are a lot of vendors not there because they do not even have a place to live. She said some are camped out in her back yard. Their lives have been so turned upside down by Irma that they are consumed with just finding a place to hang their hat much less try to sell any.
This video turned into a sobering reminder of the devastation and destitution left in Irma's wake.
The Flea Market has been continuously operating at this location
since 1983 providing people with a wide range of items at unbeatable prices. Locals shop here for the freshest produce in the Keys and for sunglasses and T-shirts for themselves and visiting family. Tourists can find unmatched deals on hats, sunglasses, beachwear and sunscreen.

Traffic and trash on Big Pine Key, Florida Keys
Please watch: Florida Keys Turtle Hospital in Marathon Top Ten things to do on vacation in the Florida Keys
--~--
A drive through Big Pine Key, Florida Keys.
My drive through Big Pine today (Nov. 20, 2017) took me 20-30 min. to travel the 3 or 4 miles starting around MM 33 until the bridge. If you are headed to Key West on a week day afternoon, be prepared to encounter traffic while the Key Deer Refuge fence is being repaired. And it isn't pretty! Although a lot, and I mean A LOT of trash has already been picked up in this area, there is still more as you will see!
Please suggest to me what you would like me to film in the Keys and I will do it if reasonably possible.
