The island is an excellent jump-off point for divers bound for Looe Key reef, which attracts fascinating creatures like moray eels and goliath groupers.
If you want to relax in a secluded and luxurious environment, head to Little Palm Island Resort, a private islet that can be reached via a 15-minute boat ride from Little Torch Key.
At five and a half acres, the resort boasts crushed seashell paths that lead to opulent oceanfront suites. Go for a dip in the pool or dock at the marina for a few days. There are no phones or TVs, so you can unplug and get away from it all.
