Every time I visit Key West I squeeze to visit this beach, the sand is soft and the water crystal clear. Snorkling on the rocks is a must so don't forget your gear! There is also a little convenience store/ restaurant that serves really good food, of not you can always BBQ there they provide grills and benches.

Ride your bike to here from anywhere in Key West. There is a small admission fee . Bring water shoes to wade or swim. Pay minimal charge to rent snorkel and fins. A picnic lunch also works well. There is plenty of shade if you wish and picnic tables available.

The sand is a bit rocky, and depending on how sensitive your feet are, you may need water shoes to enter the water (the rocks are not sharp, just somewhat gravelly and can be awkward to navigate right at the water line). There is a quick... More

This was recommended to us as more of a family friendly beach in Key West. The park was beautiful, and the beach was pretty, as well. The snorkeling was great here. The kids saw all kinds of fish. It made for a fun afternoon!

There is not much to the fort other than the walls and canons, but it is a piece of history. Standing on the roof you can see into the surounding water and part of the town. Some parts are still being preserved, but still it allows for some great photography, and to get a look into the past. I went... More
