Food shopping:
Supermarkets:
- Winn Dixie on Big Pine Key: At Mile Marker 30, going towards Miami, turn left (gulf side) at the traffic light. That road is shaped in a Y form, and you can take either one as the shopping center is between the arms of the Y.
- In Key West, there is a Publix, Winn Dixie, and Albertson. All are off North Roosevelt Boulevard.
Seafood, delicatessen:

- Murray's Food Mart: This is a convenience store with gourmet deli and excellent meats. Mile Marker 24.5 on Summerland Key, ocean side. (305) 745-3534
