Car
If you're driving from anywhere in Islamorada, head south on US-1 (Overseas Highway). Continue on US-1 for approximately 2.5 miles. Look for the sign for Indian Key State Historic Site on your right. There is a small parking area available, but note that parking is limited. The park is accessible by boat, and if you want to explore it, be sure to have a kayak or canoe ready for the short paddle to the island.
Public Transportation
Using public transportation can be a bit challenging, as there are no direct public transit routes to Indian Key Historic State Park. However, you can take a local bus or shuttle to the nearest drop-off point along US-1. From there, you will need to arrange for a private boat or kayak rental service to take you to the park. Make sure to check the local shuttle schedules in advance, as they may vary.
Boat/Kayak
If you're interested in a more adventurous route, consider renting a kayak or taking a guided boat tour from one of the local businesses in Islamorada. Paddle or take the boat to Indian Key, which is about a mile offshore. Be prepared with your own life jackets and safety equipment if you're kayaking. Remember to check the weather conditions before heading out, and confirm costs with rental services in advance.
