I visited Key West earlier this month (March) and I absolutely loved the beach at the park. We arrived early and were able to grab a perfect spot with rental chairs and umbrellas. They also offer snorkeling and floating bed rentals. Highly recommend the floating bed! The staff at the rental kiosk and the cafe were exemplary. The girls at the cafe were especially patient when our group kept getting our order confused. The only downside: It is a rather ROCKY beach. Not the worst I've seen, but BRING WATER SHOES. That being said, my friends who were in flip flops still loved it far more than other beaches we visited at Key West. I wish we had had more time to visit the Fort.
This is a beautiful beach. I went in the month of October and the weather was perfect. I got there a little before sunset and was able to see the sunset at around 7 PM. The beach is located with in a state park. There’s plenty of parking in the park.There is a small fee to enter the park. The water was excellent not too rough and the waves were calm. There was plenty of picnic area for the family and plenty of shade. The beach is completely shaded about 50 feet from the shore.
Great little spot that highlights the time during the Spanish war.
Key West's signature public beach. Everybody should visit here at least once in their life. Nominal entrance fee.nnIt's really a two-fold experience. You have the interesting history and the fort to explore as well as the beach affords a fantastic place to enjoy yourself some fun in the sun. There's even some trails.nnGoes without saying, about Keys' beaches; narrow, rocky, and rife with seagrass but this IS one of the better ones unless you're at a resort. What's especially nice is the large canopy of shade trees running up to the beach with plenty of neat picnic areas to enjoy. Love, love, love that.nnLots of parking. Nice clean bathroom amenities. Looks like there's concessions and beach rentals.nnFun, fun.
Top must do in Key West! My husband and I loved the fort and the beaches here! The fort was beautiful and had stunning views! It’s doesn’t take long to get through, maybe about 15/20 minutes but is chalked full of great information!nThe beach was fantastic! Great parking and there is a separate section for fishing and for swimming and snorkeling.nWe went to primary go for the snorkeling and swimming. The snorkeling here was the best we experienced on the island. The fish were so bright and actively swimming around. You can rent snorkeling here there for around $15 or you can bring your own! Chairs and umbrellas are also available for rent.nOne thing we wish we knew about was the amount of calcium rocks that were there making walking barefoot until the soft sand a bit of a challenge but there were beautiful to look at!nThere is bathrooms, fresh water showers, a snack house with great food and a small bar!! If your looking for a great beach with clam waters this is the place to go!
