Soldier Key is an island in Biscayne National Park in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

The island is covered by grass and shrub vegetation typical of the Florida Keys.

This would have required dredging the bay bottom, creating an artificial beach, building tiki huts and concession stands, electrifying and plumbing the island.

A group of locals began a grassroots protest, collecting hundreds of signatures of boycotting customers.

They ultimately prevailed and the plans for developing Soldier Key were abandoned.
