Smathers Beach: A must see beach in the Florida Keys

 


As the largest public beach in Key West, Smathers Beach offers over half a mile of soft, white sand and crystal-clear waters. 

HIGHLIGHTS OF SMATHERS BEACH 

  • Relaxation: The gentle sea breeze and swaying palm trees create a tranquil atmosphere for reading a good book or rent a beach chair and umbrella and just relax. 

  • Water Activities: Smathers Beach has plenty of options. Rent a kayak, paddleboard, or jet ski to explore the turquoise waters, or try your hand at parasailing for a bird’s-eye view of the island.



  • Swimming: The calm, shallow waters are perfect for a refreshing dip or for families with kids looking for a safe place to splash around.

  • Breathtaking Views: Stick around until the evening to witness a spectacular Key West sunset. The vibrant hues of orange, pink, and purple reflecting off the water are truly unforgettable.
