Comfortable lodging steps from the Overseas Highway — your practical launchpad for coral reefs, deep-sea fishing, and everything between here and Key West.
Perched on the Overseas Highway at Mile Marker 92.6, Elks Lodge in Tavernier offers straightforward, reliable lodging in the heart of the Upper Florida Keys. Whether you're here for a fishing charter, a reef snorkel, or a quiet stretch of beach, we're your grounded starting point.
No fuss. No pretense. Just clean rooms, a friendly community atmosphere, and a location that puts the Keys within arm's reach — from John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park to the southernmost point at Key West.
Tavernier sits at the northern entrance to the Florida Keys, and Elks Lodge sits right on the Overseas Highway — US-1 — at Mile Marker 92.6. That means you're one exit away from the water, and one drive away from every destination in the Keys.
John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the Key Largo underwater trail, and some of the Caribbean's clearest snorkeling are all close by. Head south and the whole island chain unfolds: Islamorada, Marathon, Big Pine Key, and finally Key West at the end of the road.
Practical amenities for travelers who want a solid place to rest between adventures on the water.
Clean, straightforward accommodations designed for rest after a day in the sun and saltwater.
Direct access to the Overseas Highway means you're never far from snorkeling, dining, or the next island.
A BPOE lodge with a reputation for hospitality — you're treated like a guest, not a number.
Short trips or extended visits — we accommodate travelers on their own schedule.
Tavernier puts you at the gateway — north for the reef, south for the whole island chain.
Staff who know the area and can point you toward the best spots — from hidden snorkel sites to local seafood shacks.
