Long Point Key is a small island located in the beautiful middle Florida Keys. It's a part of a long chain of islands in Florida, USA.
Where is Long Point Key?
Long Point Key is found in the middle section of the Florida Keys, which are islands off the southern coast of Florida. These islands stretch out into the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Straits. The key is entirely within the city of Marathon, Florida, a well-known city in the Keys.
Traveling Through the Key
A very important road called U.S. 1, also known as the Overseas Highway, goes right across Long Point Key. This highway connects many of the Florida Keys, making it easy to travel between them. On Long Point Key, this part of the road is known as the Grassy Key Causeway. It links Long Point Key with nearby islands like Crawl Key and Fat Deer Key.
