West Arsenicker Key, east of Homestead in Miami-Dade County, is a protected and pristine island closed to public access to preserve its natural environment. However, the surrounding waters offer excellent boating, fishing, and birdwatching opportunities. Anglers enjoy targeting snook, tarpon, snapper, and redfish in the shallow coastal waters. Birdwatchers can view numerous migratory and local species from boats. Despite restricted land access, the key’s marine surroundings offer remarkable scenic beauty and ecological diversity, making it appealing for nature lovers and anglers.
