Annual Event - Aug 1 - Dec 25

Celebrating Our Nation's Heroes

Aquamarine waters, swaying palm trees, warm tropical breezes, lush accommodations and never-ending relaxation—if it’s your time to take leave for some much needed R & R, Hawks Cay Resort in the beautiful Florida Keys is the ideal place to accomplish your mission. From August through December the serene island escape is saying “thank you for your service and sacrifice” to all the men and women (both past and present) of the military, fire and rescue, police, sworn officers and medical personnel, by offering a very special discounted room rate.

This annual Heroes Salute program includes value-added offers for water sports activities, a weekly outdoor Heroes’ Tribute ceremony and more. In addition to the Heroes Salute activities Hawks Cay has lined up, the resort offers a wealth of adventure and leisure opportunities for you and your family to enjoy.

Heroes Salute Tribute Ceremony

Are you or someone you love a hero? We are honoring all the heroes (military, fire and rescue, law enforcement and all medical personnel) in our weekly Heroes Salute tribute ceremony and slideshow. To submit a photo of a hero for the slideshow, upload it to any one of our social media networks (Hawks Cay Resort on X, Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest) with the hashtag #HawksCayHeroes and complete this form providing the person’s name, affiliation along your consent for our use of your hero’s image. If your hero is staying with us this Fall, be sure to provide the dates of stay at the resort so that the hero’s photo can be shown during the ceremony they are attending.

Heroes images must be submitted by Friday at noon to be included in the weekly Saturday tribute.
