This strip of sand is one of the best-known beaches in Key West. Named after a former governor, it is just west of the airport and, at two miles long, it is the island's longest strip of sand. This beach is an excellent choice if you have children. With plenty of parking, restrooms, concession stands, chair rentals, picnic tables, watersport rentals and more, everything you need to have a great day in the sun is right at hand. The beach was hit hard by a hurricane in 1998, but it has recovered well and is flourishing once again.
Based on the conviction that there actually people who travel with animals, this is the only beach in Key West in which Rover is invited to take a dip. Elsewhere, the doggy clan is not welcome but here, all four feet can race around the sand and leap into the waves. Cuba is, after all, only 90 miles away. Fetch, boy! You'll find the beach next to Louie's Backyard restaurant.
Believed to be the place where Ernest Hemingway penned his work Farewell to Arms, Key West is the southernmost edge of the Florida Keys. Just 90 miles from the island of Cuba, Key West has integrated Caribbean traditions into its cultural fabric, that influence everything from the city's cuisine to music. With its sun-warmed white sand tapering into crystal clear ocean fringed by shady palms and alluring villas, Key West is an oasis of tropical beauty. After dark, tourists and locals spill into the many bars and clubs of the happening downtown area, centered around Duval Street, while those with a literary bend make discuss the art of prose and poetry during the famed Key West Literary Seminar.
