proudaunt Posted October 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted October 6, 2013 My family will be porting in Key West during our upcoming cruise. My sister in law spoke with someone who told her the closest beach was a very far walk. We have a three and seven year old with us who want to go to the beach. How far from the port is the closest public beach that we can take the kids to for a few hours that day? Is there anything else besides the beach that the kids would be interested in doing? Any recommendations for the little ones? Thanks for any suggestions you can give! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an entrance fee. It is a fairly nice beach with picnic tables and plenty of shade. You could ask a taxi how much it would be to take you there. There is also a small aquarium very close to the ship that the kids might enjoy. I have never been there so I really can't recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted October 11, 2013 #3 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Key West really isn't a "beach" destination! A guidebook will really help you decide what to do....your library has guidebooks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayoKelly Posted October 22, 2013 #4 Share Posted October 22, 2013 There is actually a really nice beach at the foot of Simonton Street. There is a new hamburger/sandwich place. The owner is fixing it up and there will be chairs umbrellas and Watersports rentals there. Just five minutes from Mallory Square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
