If you go to Big Pine Key and the Little Key Refuge you'll come up to No Name Pub. Put it in your GPS or your won't find it. It's a fun place -- bring an extra dollar to add to their estimated $200,000 stapled on the walls and ceiling! Chances are good you'll see the mini deer.

Sightseeing

One of the longest segmental bridges in the world! After the railroad was damaged by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, the line was sold to the United States government, which refurbished Seven Mile Bridge for automobile use. Unsupported sections were added in 1935 to widen it for vehicular traffic. Dismantled trackage was recycled, painted white, and used as guardrails. It had a swing span to allow passage of boats in the Moser Channel of the Intracoastal Waterway, near where the bridge crosses Pigeon Key, a small island that held a work camp for Flagler's railroad. Hurricane Donna in 1960 caused further damage. The current road bridge was constructed from 1978 to 1982. The vast majority of the original bridge still exists, although the swing span has been removed. The 2.2-mile section to Pigeon Key, used as a fishing pier and long open to motorized vehicles to give access to the key, was closed to motorized traffic in 2008 after the unsupported sections began to sag. As of 2015, the section remains open to pedestrians and bicyclists. In 2014, Florida Department of Transportation approved a $77 million plan to restore the old bridge.
