Hawk's Cay Resort occupies 60 acres of Duck Key. Route 1, heading south to Marathon and Key West, is on the right.

In the Florida Keys, you're never more than a few steps away from fishing, some of it the best in the country. And when you're staying at Hawk's Cay Resort on Duck Key, located halfway down the island chain, you're in the middle of it all--with flats-cruising bonefish and tarpon and redfish in Florida Bay, and dolphin and billfish offshore.

Hawk's Cay can host up to 2000 guests in both inn rooms and villas on its 60 acres. Fishing is everywhere you look: Hire one of the resort's five offshore and backcountry guides, rent a boat and go for snappers and grouper on your own, or just fish from shore--the entrance bridge is a nighttime hotspot for tarpon and sharks.
