Lower Matecumbe Key and its surrounding waters are defined by the narrow ribbon of land and sea that makes up this section of the Florida Keys. The primary settlement at Lower Matecumbe Beach is organized around a network of residential streets such as Ponce De Leon Blvd, Costa Bravo Dr, and Sunset Dr, all oriented toward the waterfront. The Overseas Hwy serves as the central spine for transportation, connecting the small harbor areas like Matecumbe Harbor to the larger keys. To the south, the South Islamorada Underwater Coral Gardens indicate the preservation of the marine environment within the Atlantic Ocean. The geography highlights the delicate balance between land and water, with Florida Bay to the north and the deep Hawk Channel to the south, separated by small outcroppings like Veterans Key.
