Plantation Island, FL

Sitting along Halfway Creek between Everglades City and Chokoloskee, Plantation Island is a tiny waterfront community surrounded by quiet mangrove channels and coastal wetlands. With just over a hundred residents, daily life here revolves around the water, offering immediate access to backcountry fishing, paddling routes, and the Ten Thousand Islands. It offers a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle for boaters and nature lovers who want a secluded pocket of old Florida right at the edge of the Everglades.
