Absolutely gorgeous! If you want to witness an amazing sunset , this is the place. The sail boats that usually are in the horizon make the sunset extra special. #pictureperfect

Entrance to this "jewel " is through Truman Annex on Southerd. AT the end of the residences make a left, past the cannon . Car loads and groups of 4+ discounted .

Construction started on the fort in 1845. It was considered state of the art at the time it was built, and was used by Union troops during the Civil War. Watch this video for more info. Read more

When entering the water put the rental umbrellas on your left while facing the horizon.The rock bank there keeps the tide from washing the big fossilized coral from collecting there. Sit and swim !

Dan Murphy

Best place to watch the sunset in Key West (on land!) If you can get into Fort Zachary Taylor and head out to the pier (head west to the beach and go north.) Bring your cooler and kick back!

Robert Amezquita

Bring a bike ! Best way to get around and see all the sights. Don't forget to hydrate because it can be quite muggy
