Cayo Agua Wildlife Management Area

Cayo Agua Keys are a series of mangrove islands with tidal creeks dissecting them, located six miles northeast of Key West. Herons and ospreys are residents of these islands, and there are idle-speed no-wake zones in each of the tidal creeks to prevent disturbances. This is one of the smallest wildlife management areas in the sanctuary, measuring less than seven acres.

Special regulations apply here. Learn more about what activities are allowed in this type of zone.
