Big Pine Key, Florida
Due to its distance from the chaotic city, this island has very bright, clear skies and no pollution. It’s also the only place in the US where you can see stars usually only seen by those closer to the equator, including the Southern Cross constellation. Since Florida nights are hot, you’ll be comfortably stargazing in tank tops and shorts.
Located around 100 miles from Miami, Big Pine Key is a magnificent island in Florida’s lower Keys. Overnight visitors are encouraged to wander up the Old Bahia Honda Bridge, walk the shorelines or enjoy the scene in the sky from their boat, RV or tent.
