Pigeon Key
Said to be named for large flocks of White-crowned pigeons (Columba leucocephala Linnaeus) which once roosted here. During the
building of the Florida East Coast Railway Key West Extension, a major construction depot was located here, the jumping off point for
construction of the Seven Mile Bridge. A number of buildings from the Flagler era remain on the island. Pigeon Key is listed on the National
Register of Historic Places.
Pidgeon Key is located off old Seven Mile Bridge and is accessible by foot or by shuttle service from the Pigeon Key Visitor Center on
Knight's Key. Admission charged. Children free.

The Old Seven Mile Bridge was an engineering marvel in its day and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. It
rested on a record 546 concrete piers. No cars are allowed on the old bridge today, but a 2.2mile segment is open for biking,
walking, and roller blading ending at historic Pigeon Key.
The Seven Mile Bridge is one of the most-photographed images in the Keys. Actually measuring 6.79 mi long, it connects the
Middle and Lower Keys and is believed to be the world's longest segmental bridge. It has 39 expansion joints separating its
cement sections. Each April, runners gather in Marathon for the annual Seven Mile Bridge Run.
