CABBAGE KEY ISLAND, FLORIDA - @DJI DRONE FLYOVER

According to Vermeersch, Buffett dedicated his first public performance of “Cheeseburger in Paradise” to Cabbage Key – which is how the rumor got started that he wrote the song about the island and its restaurant. The cheeseburger, by the way, is delicious – but the grouper and the shrimp are even better.

STORY:
In the 1930s, Mary Roberts Rinehart, an important mystery novelist of the era and a visitor at Useppa Islands Izaak Walton Club, bought the nearby 100-acre island of Cabbage Key, Florida as a wedding present for her son. Just across the channel from Useppa, Cabbage Keys historic inn also perches on an Indian shell mound, but there the similarities end. Cabbage Key Inn, built by Rinehart, is all about simplicity and ease with its six simple inn rooms, six cottages, and a beer-guzzling, truth-stretching attitude of fun. Whats there to do on Cabbage Key besides eat, drink, fish, sleep, repeat? Not much -- and thats how islanders and guests love it.
