South Beach

The liveliest of Key West’s swaths of sand, South Beach is located at the south end of Duval Street. Along with beach chairs and umbrellas, this seaside location features the well-known Southernmost Beach Café that celebrates the community’s counterculture philosophy with its “no shirt, no shoes, no problem” policy. The beach is adjacent to the historic Southernmost House and the colorful buoy that designates the location as the southernmost point in the United States. There are no facilities at this free public beach, which is open from 8am until the restaurant closes.
