Egmont Key Guardhouse

Volunteers Needed!

Without volunteers to staff the center, we are unable to open it and everyone loses out. You don’t need to be an “expert” on Egmont, its history, or its critters. The center includes a number of first class interpretive panels that provide the basic information that interests visitors. 


Free transportation to and from Egmont Key is provided by Hubbard’s Marina Egmont Key Ferry.


Interested in becoming a Guardhouse Docent? We'd love to have you! Please complete the form below and we'll reach out to you with details and next steps. Thank you!
