Great places to eat within a few minutes:
Bobalu’s
This very basic Key West Flavor is 1 Mile towards Key West on the right hand side of the road.
Geiger Key Marina
Follow Boca Chica Road next to Circle K down 1 ½ mile till you come to Geiger Key Road on the left. The Marina will be on your right hand side. It has a Great waterfront view, awesome fish sandwiches and Ice Cold Beer. Every Sunday they have a Fantastic afternoon Barbecue.
Other Places of Interest:
Further down Boca Chica Road is a secluded beach. Drive all the way down to the barricade, get out and walk. Great to watch the sunrise, or an early morning jog. You might find a great surprise if you go deep into the path.
There are plenty of fish to catch in the canal. The best bait is live shrimp. Bait and tackle can be purchased at the “Hitch King” which is a mile down the road towards Key West or at Murray’s Marine just over the Boca Bridge on the left.
And then there is Duval Street. The Trolley is really very interesting even if you have been here before. Always full of history and local gossip.

Review Submitted: 02/09/12
Our stay at the Lobster lodge was awesome. We loved the fact we could leave the boats in the water! The folks on the canal were friendly. The fishing was excellent whether we went to the Gulf side or the Reef. The lobsters were everywhere! We had a great time will be back for sure!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children.
