Torch Keys

The Torch Keys are three islands in the lower Florida Keys, consisting of Little Torch Key, Middle Torch Key, and Big Torch Key. Little Torch Key is the most populated of the three. The origin of the "Torch" name is rumored to come from the torchwood tree, which is found in the Florida Keys. The Torch Keys may be found just west of Big Pine Key, or about 24 miles east of Key West.
