Ramrod Key

Local-favorite canal island; No Name Pub on a Tuesday.

Ramrod Key is a Lower-Keys home base — tight-knit, canal-heavy, and a 35–45 minute commute to Key West. Its canal mix runs from older stilt cottages to renovated elevated builds; flood zones are mostly AE with some isolated higher pockets.
