Sugarloaf Shores is a small place in Monroe County, Florida, in the United States. It is called an unincorporated community. This means it is not officially a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it is part of the larger county.
Sugarloaf Shores is located in the beautiful Florida Keys. These are a string of islands off the southern coast of Florida. The community sits on Lower Sugarloaf Key. You can find it near mile marker 17 on US 1. This road is also known as the Overseas Highway. It connects many of the Florida Keys.
Right across US 1 from Sugarloaf Shores is a place called Perky. Perky is known as a ghost town. A ghost town is a place where most people have left, and it is no longer a busy community.
