Curry Hammock: Beach, Mangrove Paddle and Hawks“Curry Hammock's beach and day-use area is ahead, with Atlantic sand, picnic pavilions and a kayak launch together. I'd stop for a beach picnic or the hour-long paddle around Little Crawl Key.”

Guide
Curry Hammock State Park Campground sits on Little Crawl Key along the Atlantic side of the Overseas Highway. Every site has a gravel pad, water, 20/30/50-amp power, a picnic table, charcoal grill and hammock posts, so the layout works for RVs and tents. Only some sites look toward the ocean; the coastal setting does not guarantee a view from every pad.
Campground beach access is between sites 13 and 15, and campers can carry kayaks or paddleboards down to the water. Elsewhere along the park's waterfront, wind brings kiteboarders to watch. The campground shoreline is shallow and has no lifeguards, so check conditions before planning to swim.
The park protects mangrove swamp, rockland hammock and seagrass in this stretch of the Keys. It became a Florida state park in 1991 and was named for Lamar Louise Curry, a Miami teacher; her father, Thomas Curry, acquired land across the Middle and Upper Keys.
