A small key west of Cayo Coco known for Playa Pilar, a beach backed by some of the tallest sand dunes in the Caribbean. The surrounding flats attract kitesurfers and fly-fishing enthusiasts, and Ernest Hemingway set parts of Islands in the Stream in these waters. Resorts here are quieter and smaller than on the neighboring key.

The world is wide open.
