CK has one school with all grades, and has a clam industry...good place to bring home some fresh fish or shrimp. the airport is a hoot with a very short runway for any aviation buffs, you may need to "go around" to land there. It is a great place to take a kayak or canoe and paddle out to the smaller keys, I think there's one called "Pencil" as there was once a pencil factory. Don't miss the history museum...it's off the beaten path and well worth a visit. Once a year there are ferries and admission to a bird sanctuary with a lighthouse that UF operates. I never saw so many osprey.
