Few people think to visit the beach in the fall and winter months, and it’s understandable why. However, there are some secluded beach towns in the U.S. that are even better during the offseason. With smaller crowds and more room to explore, these hidden places seem all the more inviting this time of year. One such case is Duck Key, Florida. Even in the winter, this town enjoys tropical weather and plenty of sunshine. Here’s more on this beautiful and secluded beach town:
Duck Key is located off of the scenic Route 1, also known as the Overseas Highway, about halfway between Key West and Miami.
