Middle Torch Key is an island in the lower Florida Keys.[1][2]
Key Information
It is located between Ramrod Key and Little Torch Key.
The southernmost tip of the key is on U.S. 1 (or the Overseas Highway), at approximately mile marker 28.
Like the other Torch Keys, it was probably named for the native Torchwood tree.
