Best Beaches in Key West, Florida

"Rest Beach at C.B. Harvey Park is a great place to chill out. The warm, shallow waters and soft sandy beach make this is a favorite destination for shell hunters and families, as it's ideal for wading and playing. You can also access the Key West Aids Memorial from here, as it's in the middle of Rest Beach and Higgs Beach." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Nice for swimming as it doesn’t get deep fast. When we went there was quite a bit of seaweed washed up from a recent storm. Overall good views and nice beach.

Nice local beach that’s not too far from the busier Key West area. Shallow water that’s good for walking or even snorkeling area

Small strip of sand just E of the much larger Higgs Beach. A nice place for a stroll or to look out at the Atlantic Ocean, but not a good swimming beach. Mostly used by residents of the condos that line Atlantic Ave. UPDATE: Rest Beach is a disaster right now. The city is in the process of beach restoration (and hopefully replacing a few missing picnic tables), but there is no reason to visit until the work is complete.

We call it Chicken Wing Beach! Chickens and Wing hydrofoil spot.

Free Florida fun though not exactly the best place to rest unless you count hanging out on the seawall! Not to be unfair, there is one covered picnic area sans table. Anyway, it's a small park. The beach itself is very narrow and not unlike other Keys beaches it's rocky with coral and full of seagrass. You'd have to be pretty ambitious to lay out here. ...but there's a few good parking spots, plenty of shade, and lots of chickens if you're looking for pictures.

This is not a swimming beach but an area around where seaweed lays. It’s still a nice area if you enjoy viewing nature, but there are better locations to enjoy your time in Key West such as Fort Zach!
