Long Key was called Cayo Vivora (Rattlesnake Key) by early Spanish explorers, a reference to the shape of the island, which resembles a snake with its jaws open, rather than to its denizens. In the early 20th century, Long Key was the site of a luxurious fishing resort that was destroyed during the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. Today, visitors can explore this island by canoeing through a chain of lagoons or hiking two land-based trails.

Les Espagnols ont appelé cette «île Cayo Vivora" ou Rattlesnake pièce car sa forme ressemble à un serpent avec sa gueule ouverte. Au début du 20e siècle, Long Key a été le site d'une station de pêche de luxe qui a été détruite pendant l'ouragan Labor Day de 1935. Aujourd'hui, les visiteurs peuvent explorer cette île en canoë à travers une chaîne de lagunes.
