Beaches
Explore the historic Fort and spend the day at the only “natural” beach in Key West. All others are man made. You must bring water shoes, as it is full of coral. Lounge chairs, snorkle gear are available for rental. Snack shack also on property.
It is a State Park, so a small cash fee is due upon entrance.
