'''Boca Chica Key''' is an island in the lower [[Florida Keys]], about a mile ({{convert|1|mi|km|disp=out}}) east of the island of [[Key West, Florida|Key West]] at its closest point. Its name is [[Spanish language|Spanish]] for "small mouth". It is mostly covered by [[salt marsh]]es and [[mangrove]] trees, and is the home of the largest Naval Air Station ([[Naval Air Station Key West|NAS Key West]]) in south Florida. [[U.S. Route 1 in Florida|U.S. 1]], the [[Overseas Highway]], crosses the key at approximately mile markers 6.5—8, east of Key West.,<ref>[http://www.missilesofkeywest.com/yestBOCA.htm Historic photos of Boca Chica Key]</ref> near the NAS and Boca Chica Beach (aka Geiger Beach) on Boca Chica Road.<ref><br />
