Sands Key is an island north of the upper Florida Keys in Biscayne National Park.

[1] Earlier names for the island were "Las Tetas", "The Paps", "Pownal Kay", "Pownall Island", "Restinga de Las Tetas" and "Saunder's Key".

The island was most likely called this due to two hills, perhaps Indian mounds located there.

Bahamians referred to the island as "Saunder's Key".
