Directions:

Marine Mammal Conservancy is located at 102200 Overseas Hwy (MM 102) in Key Largo, take the dirt driveway on the north side of the Concrete AT&T Tower.

Island Dolphin Care is located at 150 Lorelane Place, Key Largo, Fl 33037

When coming into Key Largo from the north you will pass the Holiday Inn on your left at MM 100.  Start slowing down and within a block you will come to an intersection with traffic lights.  At this intersection, make a left turn across the highway.  Go one short block and make your first right hand turn.  Go another block and make your first left hand turn. This puts you on Ocean Bay Drive.  Stay on this street for 7 or 8 blocks until you come to a small bridge.  GO OVER the bridge, then turn right just after the bridge and Island Dolphin Care is on the corner.

If you are arriving from Key West or south of Key Largo, drive North on US 1 to MM99. Just past MM99 you will see flashing yellow lights over the highway. At the flashing lights, turn right on East Drive.  Go to the first stop sign and turn right on Ocean Bay Drive.  Island Dolphin Care is located about 1/3 of a mile ahead – on the right – just AFTER the small bridge.

Eco-Discovery Center is located in the Truman Annex at the end of Southard Street in Key West.
