Little Duck Key , formerly Pacet Key , is a small uninhabited island at the southern end of the Lower Florida Keys . It has an area of 13.8 hectares (exactly: 137,615 m²).
The US Highway 1 (or the Overseas Highway ) crosses the island at MM 40, just at the southern end of Seven Mile Bridge .
The island, now called Little Duck Key , is part of a great confusion over island names between Pigeon Key and Bahia Honda Key . The island used to be called Pacet Key . It was named Little Duck Key during the construction of the Florida East Coast Railway . It was also called the Big Money Key once before . Today's Ohio Key was formerly known as Little Duck Key .
The only existing infrastructure on the island consists of picnic areas, boat piers and the Veterans Memorial Park .
