Higgs Beach, not the dog park, is our Favorite beach in Key West. White sand beach, Long pier with ladders you can walk right into the ocean. There's a wonderful restaurant named "Salute" on the beach. Great food. There's free parking. Roosters 🐓 all around. It's a must see, feel, and taste of Key West.

Nice little white sand beach. No crowds and plenty of space to enjoy the ocean views. Adjacent to Key West Garden Club which is a very worthwhile free visit.

Nice beach for the family to go and enjoy the sunshine and ocean. We went in the beginning of March, and the water was crystal clear. There is public parking, and restrooms, there is a little jungle gym for little kids... across the street there is a dog park. Also there is a nice pier to walk or ride a bike. Again the water was clear and there is a place to get in the water near the pier to go swimming snorkeling fishing.

White sandy beaches. The Best Beach in the Keys bar far! Too much seaweed but we passed over it and swam in a creature free ocean area. Great for kids. Bring a cooler.

The beach was covered in sea grass but was still so beautiful 😍. The fort was op3n, and seeing the orchids blooming is always my favorite..

Nice area to walk, and people watch.

Free beach Bring your own umbrella and chairs or rent 2 chairs and umbrella for $$25

One of the best spots in Key west! Absolutely Stunning. The restaurant makes this place even more relaxing! Take a drink or eat while watching the beautiful beach.

This dog park is fantastic. Your sitting under a palm tree looking at the beach and playing with your buddy. Plenty of human chairs. Plenty of dog toys. The park also has water for your dog. Some one donated a dog pool I’ve been to dog parks around the US it this park is one of the top places they have a small dog park and a separate large dog park. Great job Monroe county!

Visited the gardens maintained by Key West Garden Club. Very pretty! And so much variety in a relative small space. Clear that this club is putting a lot of effort in maintenance!

Really nice park. Eith big playground and a clean beach

Our dog Blueberry loved it. We noticed that there was no mess on the ground. I just hope people continue to clean up after their dog/dogs.

Great experience! Beach was a bit crowded and a little rocky but I was prepared for it all. They offer chair and umbrella rentals as well as free volleyball. The water was pleasant and absolutely clear with minimal rocks once you got out a little. There is a nice pier and a restaurant very close by for food and drinks that was also amazing! Highly recommended!

Awesome part of the Key, beside the downtown Mallory Square. Has a long walk into the beach. Very scenic. Just be informed that Key beaches don't have waves, just some flat water. Beautiful water though, more like huge pool.

This place feels like paradise, and it's free. You could be here all day. Practice snorkeling with the family the next day we went on a boat to a reef.

Moving and emotionally touching memorial to enslaved Africans. There is a botanical garden next door that has more exhibits... ALL FREE

Higgs Beach is nice as long as the seaweed levels are low. When there is a lot of seaweed it can really really unbearably stink. The water stays shallow for quite a while out, so you can basically just stand the whole time if you like. You're legally not supposed to jump off of the pier into the water, but all the kids have fun doing so anyway. While at the beach you might as well enjoy dining at Salute restaurant which has pretty good food in addition to a great ocean view.

Great live music, fun place for drinks and atmosphere Didnt eat so can't say on the food.

Enough beach access for everyone. Has a dock you can walk down and steps to climb out of the water once you've jumped in. Have picnic areas and volleyball court. Great place to watch the fireworks.

So pretty! Great water experience. We rented chairs right on the beach and it wasn't too crowded! Just beautiful 😍

Nice clean beach, including a volleyball field, and has some spots for free available

Great beach! You can walk out far especially during low tide! The water was warm like bath water. The sand is white, very impressed with this beach. It also was not crowded. You can rent beach chairs and umbrellas if you do not want to bring your own. Highly recommended beach to visit if you are ever in Key West.

With white sand and 85° ocean water you can't go wrong and opens at 7:00 a.m.
