Grassy Key island is located in the middle of the Florida Keys and is just a few hours away from Miami. With an oceanside view, Grassy Key Island has many beautiful beaches such as Turtle Beach. The island is also home to the Dolphin Research Center, where dolphins and California sea lions are kept in saltwater lagoons and paid swim-with and interaction sessions are sold. Captive dolphin interaction of that kind is contested on welfare grounds, and wild dolphins are seen on boat trips throughout the Keys.
