eclectic variety of tapas, and full fare of gourmet food and
fine wine selection to choose from. Everything is delicious. One

granted. Crepes and sauces are the best you will find any where,
delicious sandwiches on French baguette, delightful salads,
fresh squeezed juices, champagne and coffee. Set in newly

KEY WEST BEACHES plus:
- Fort Zachary Taylor State Park
Go all the way to the end of Southard Street through the gate at
Truman Annex.
My favorite Key West beach. You can picnic, swim,
snorkel, and fish. There is short nature trail and bicycling
areas within the park, and a refreshment stand at the beach
offers snacks, beverages, and sunscreen. Guided tours of the
fort are available daily. You have to pay $5.00 per car to get
in or if you are on a bike, $1.50 but it is worth it.
- Smathers Beach
Starts at about the 1900 block of Atlantic Blvd, and goes all
the way along South Roosevelt Blvd. to the Key West Airport.
This is Key West's largest strip of sandy beach and is on the
south shore of the island. Plenty of curb side food, sundry and
water sports vendors. A popular wedding location for couples who
want a tropical Key West wedding.
- Higgs Beach
1000 Atlantic Blvd. (end of Reynolds St.)
Local's favorite, long
pier, volley ball net, water toys and beach chairs to rent, and
'Salute' restaurant'.

Right next to the White Street Pier and next door to Higgs
Beach. They all sort of blend together. Rest Beach has a nice
little boardwalk that has a short meander through the sand and a
couple of kiosks where you can sit and rest and there is a yoga
deck where you can opt in for a yoga class on the beach.
- Dog Beach
700 Waddell St.
Right next door to Louie's Back Yard, a precious
little strip of beach where locals go to swim in the ocean with

anywhere!
