Not too many beaches close to places to stay tho',

Adams key and Boca chica key are 40 miles from land so you have to be well stocked with supplies

Still a permit would probably be required as may be the case at any other public launch (i.e. park). Transport would be a major issue as well.

I think our best bet might be to contact some of the small mom and pop hotels along the Straits side of the Keys. I am trying to remember the names of some of them up keys from the Pelican Cove in Islamorada. One small place hosted an outrigger event there a month or so ago. It would be good to get in touch with them for starters.
