Woman Key
Woman Key is an island in the Florida Keys in Monroe County, Florida, United States. It is within the boundaries of the Key West National Wildlife Refuge.[1]
Located in the Outlying Islands of the Florida Keys, Woman Key is in the southern Mule Keys, which are 9 miles (14 km) west of Key West.[2] To its east are Ballast Key (the island farthest south in the area (at 24°31′23.0″N) and Man Key.
Half of the island's south-facing beach, as well as the sand spit on the southeast side, are closed to protect wildlife.
The beach and dunes are nesting sites for loggerhead sea turtles. Several species of wading birds also nest in the area and a large number of shorebirds use the sand spits on the southeast side of the island.[3]
