Casey Key

Casey Key is 8 miles long and only 300 yards wide. It can be driven by vehicle but makes a great bike ride by starting at Nokomis Beach on Casey Key Road and there are many beautiful homes to view with occasional glimpses of the Gulf and private beaches. At the end of the Key is the Casey Key Fish House where you can stop at the tiki bar for a refreshment on the water’s edge or have lunch in the restaurant, also along the water. The original name of the Casey Key island was Clam Island, assumed to be attributed to the Seminole Indians who once lived there. On Florida maps, the island was shown as Chaise’s key. Then in 1856, a map called the area of Chaise’s Key, “Casey Key” after Capt. John C. Casey, who charted the region and was well respected by the Seminole Indians. The name stuck.

In the 1920s, during the Florida land boom, a real estate developer tried to change the island name to Treasure Island, spreading rumors that there was buried treasure on the north end in efforts to sell lots. Ironically today the land is some of the most valuable in all of Florida because of its natural beauty.
