Traveler Guide to Stock Island, FL
Stock Island is a town east of Key West in the Florida Keys. Stock Island has a thriving artist community with specific enclaves that encompass artists/shops. Ten marinas and boat yards on the island are home to live-aboard residents, offer transient slips, charters and water sports activities. There are many restaurants and food trucks, a distillery and two craft breweries.
It is home to about 5,000 people (census, 1 April 2020) The community is more residential in character than the tourist-oriented Key West, with a year-round population.
I Love Stock Island Festival: Mid-July. A five-day festival with art and food tours, an artisans' market, activities for kids, entertainment, and a silent auction. (date needs fixing) Walk behind Hogfish to meet the locals (and see some great art) Take your morning run through the neighborhood, where you can see how locals without a gazillion dollars really afford to live in the Florida Keys
1 El Siboney, 5501 5th Ave, ☏ +1 305 204-4725. This place has fantastic puerco asado, among other things. They have a full liquor bar, plenty of seating, and a cadre of locals who eat here. (updated Dec 2025) 2 Hogfish Bar & Grill, 6810 Front St, ☏ +1 305 293-4041, [email protected]. They have kingfish and grits on the menu. (updated Dec 2025) Matt’s Kitchen (at the Perry Hotel). As a restaurant in a hotel, yes, it’s a little more tourist-oriented. But the marina at The Perry has liveaboards aplenty, so you’ll still get local flavor here. (updated Dec 2025)
1 The Perry Hotel & Marina, 7001 Shrimp Rd, toll-free: +1-877-496-8712, [email protected]. One of the nicest, newest hotels on the island. (updated Dec 2025)
