Yea, very nice spot and very well protected. Can be very busy on weekends. No services, but free. Elliott Key (a couple miles south) should be a decent harbor once the NPS finishes the reconstruction project. (Reconstruction may already be completed - I don't know.)

I lived in a house trailer at Eliott Key for about a year during my assignment to Biscayne National Park in 1973/1974. Great place, but mosquito Heaven! Some entomologists at Univ of Souh Florida had us collecting mosquitoes for "research." Every other day we'd change-out the three gallon(?) glass jar beneath the trap with a new jar. ...we never ran out of mosquitoes! I vaguely recall the professor telling us they'd identified 52 different specie of mosquitoes. (Can't guarantee the 52 specie figure [that memory has somewhat dimmed over time], but it was a S***Pot full of mosquitoes!)

...if you go to either place, just remember the DEET !

Thanks for info Casey,wow that's a lot of mosquitos species. Are the Mosquitos also out at Bocha Chita? Read its best to go on week day too busy on weekend.Just Saw at end of your post both places so im guessing Bocha is bad with skeeters also.
 
Yea, both places are pretty healthy mosquito habitats. NPS has this thing about not using insecticide sprays ... So the mosquitoes populations can be ...aah... Very healthy!

Invest in DEET (100% if you can find it), and good screening/netting.
