Boot Key

Looking north over Boot Key Harbor

Boot Key is an island in the middle Florida Keys[1] located adjacent to Key Vaca. Boot Key is within the city limits of Marathon, Florida, United States. The island is largely undeveloped despite having a bridge spanning Boot Key Harbor to Key Vaca, which is now closed to pedestrian and vehicular traffic.[2]

Immediately adjacent to Boot Key is a 38-acre (150,000 m2) tract of land from which the United States Government broadcasts Radio Marti.[3] These broadcasts consist of news and cultural information intended for residents of Cuba.[4]

A hawkwatch is conducted every fall on Boot Key.
