Island beaches
Key West Beaches
Key West beaches are not the huge sweeping beaches people may imagine elsewhere in Florida. The draw is the island setting: compact sandy areas, clear-water views, palms, historic streets and the feeling of being at the end of the Overseas Highway.
Visitors should expect smaller beach pockets rather than endless shoreline. The reward is atmosphere: turquoise water, sunset culture, walkable island neighborhoods and easy pairing with Key West restaurants, history and boat trips.
