Fort Zachary Taylor, Key West

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.

One of the best beaches in Key West. I always have a blast stopping here. People were super friendly too! Great park area with lots of different plants to read about and view. We even saw a huge Iguana just chilling in a tree! Water was pretty calm and not too murky. There are lots of rocks on the beach so wear some water shoes if needed! Had a great time taking in the scenery and enjoying the ocean waters, I love Key West. This is a must stop for beach goers if you're in the area!
