About The Area:

Key Colony Beach is located in the Heart of the Florida Keys at mile marker 53.5 on US Highway 1 which is known locally as the Overseas Highway. Driving south from Miami on US 1, the Keys begin about mile marker 106 in Key Largo and extend to mile marker 0 in Key West. The city, called the "Gem of the Florida Keys," is a on an island just south of the Overseas Highway connected via a causeway with a very small bridge.

There are just over 800 residents of Key Colony Beach, but the population peaks to about 4,000 in mid-winter. The city was founded in the early fifties by developer Phil Sadowski and was incorporated in September 1957. The city is situated on 286 acres and contains approximately 1,400 units of housing. Many property owners make their homes available to visitors for rent on a monthly or weekly basis. Our upscale quiet tropical island atmosphere draws people from all over the world.

About Us:

Cabana Club and Cabana Breezes were two of the first few structures built in Key Colony Beach by Mr. Phil Sadowski. They are still operating as envisioned back in the late 50's, a swim club and a restaurant. Cabana Club has been owned an operated by the Tracy family since 1979. As times have changed so has the club, making subtle changes year after year all while keeping the same welcome family atmosphere.

Cabana Breezes started out life in the 50's as the "The Colony House". It has been "The Shamrock" and often used to host celebrities and VIP's to be entertained by then owner, Guy Lombardo. It has had several other names in it's long rich history but it has always maintained itself as a popular dining experience with all the locals and visitors. In 2002 the Tracy family purchased the neighboring "Tavern by the Sea" and following extensive renovations opened the Cabana Breezes to the public. Their outstanding level of personal attention to detail has carried over into this newest venture. It has already achieved a reputation as one of the best restaurants in the Marathon / Key Colony Beach area.

Our Weather:

Wherever you are right now, chances are the weather is better here in the Florida Keys. That's true even on a summer day. The hottest it's ever been in Key West is 97º F (36º C), and that was way back in 1880. At the peak of summer, the average high is 89º F (32º C). We don't have any super-highways or urban sprawl to radiate the sun's heat. Not only that, but our islands are surrounded by cooling ocean waters.

Wise Floridians from the mainland flock to the Keys on steamy weekends because the air is usually a few degrees cooler here. The water temperature might be in the mid-80s (30º C) but the sea is nevertheless refreshing for swimming, snorkeling or diving. In the winter, cold fronts can bring frost to mainland Florida, but you can be sure there will be no frost here. The all-time record low for Key West is 41º F (5º C) set in 1981. Divers or snorkelers usually get by with a "shortie" wet suit.

During these winter months, it almost never rains. By late May, however, the season's first thundershowers start popping up. Rarely do they stick around long enough to spoil an entire day. You might be wondering about the Atlantic hurricane season, which can affect the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States as well as the Caribbean and the Bahamas. The official hurricane season begins June 1st and ends on November 30. Traditionally, the highest potential for storms is between Aug. 15 and Oct. 15. However, the daily weather during this period tends to be some of the most beautiful of the year.
