1. Fort Zachary Taylor Beach
Our first tip is Fort Zachary Taylor Beach, the most famous beach in Key West. It is situated at the southern end, within the gigantic Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, which was built before the American Civil War and served as a base to protect the island from pirates. The beach is considered the most beautiful one in Key West, and the view of the sunset from here is amazing, illuminating the rocks that are by the sea. There is not much structure on this beach, but you can miss a visit.
2. South Beach Key West
South Beach is one of the most visited beaches on the island of Key West because it is very well located, close to several points of interest for tourists and residents, such as the main street in the city: Duval Street. The beach has calm waters, perfect for families with children, and a beautiful concrete pier, for taking many pictures. Around it, there is a lot of infrastructure – but precisely because it is a target beach, bars and restaurants usually have higher prices. So, if you don’t want to spend a lot on this tour, the tip is to go to a supermarket, as Walmart, and buy snacks and water to take with you to the beach.
3. Higg’s Beach
Higg’s Beach is another super cool beach to enjoy the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It has calm waters and has restrooms, covered tables for picnics, restaurants, playground, chair rental, rafts and activities/water sports. The beach is located at the end of Reynold Street, and close to Key West’s tourist attractions and the African Cemetery at Higgs Beach, a cemetery with almost 300 tombs of Africans (men, women and children) who died on the island in the year 1860.
4. Smathers Beach
Our last tip is Smathers Beach, which has much of its “original sand” brought from the Caribbean. It has a great structure to receive residents and tourists, offering car parking, picnic tables, bike paths, bathrooms, chair rental, volleyball nets, windsurfing, jet ski and paragliding. Smathers Beach is located on South Roosevelt Boulevard, next to Sheraton Suites Key West, and is usually very crowded as well. We remind you that, like the other beaches on this list, nudism in Smathers Beach is prohibited, and fishing is only allowed with licenses in appropriate places.
