The BEST BEACH in KEY WEST (yes really) 🌴

[@kennethsmith8968]

nice of u 2 show all aspects of ur stay even on the windy days,lol.lets everyone know that not every day is picture perfect.nice video.

[@PSAdventures]

Exactly! Oh, Fort Zach, and the Keys in general, definitely doesn't always look picture perfect. There's often a lot of wind coming off of the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf, which affects the water quality. But occasionally like on this day, it was just perfect. We're happy it was helpful! ❤️

[@mmqqq8246]

On good days ...great beach ....any chop or windy ...sand clouds it up....but i LOVED the " pine" trees on the beach

[@PSAdventures]

It's so perfect on a good day! Add a little wind though and you're right, it gets pretty choppy. What kind of trees are those? The only thought that came to mind was pine since the leaves were needles. Maybe cypress?

[@susancfreedom]

Thank you for sharing!! I guess I can say I had breakfast in Key West this morning!!! Ahhhhhh! 😍

Hey Paul & Sarah, Another great video!!! Thanks for taking us along to Key West!!! So amazing that Fort Zachary Taylor is still standing!!! Yes, the wind can be so crazy in Key West!!! We got caught in a Wind Sand Storm on a Key West Beach & we were getting pelted so bad by the wind & sand that we had to leave in a rush!!! We even had sand between our teeth... LOL!!!

[@briand_1]

Going next week. Can’t wait to check out the beach. What did you film the snorkeling with? And can you rent snorkeling gear at the park?

[@PSAdventures]

That's wonderful! We wish for you calm and clear waters (on windy days, it can be churned up). But no matter what, it's beautiful and we're sure you'll love it! We're pretty sure they do rent snorkel gear at the park, but you may want to call to confirm a few days before going to make sure they are still offering that. Oh, and we recorded underwater with our GoPro. Captures some great underwater shots. In case you're interested, we've listed our favorite adventure gear on our website: psadventures.net/gear/ Have a great adventure in the Florida Keys!!

[@Auriasis]

Bahia Sound in a state park near the bridge is my favorite beach. Swam with a 20 foot ray there once upon a time.

[@PSAdventures]

Whoa! That must have been an amazing experience! We would love to swim with a big beautiful manta ray sometime. It'll happen one day! We haven't been out to Bahia Honda State Park yet but it's on our list. Thanks so much for watching! 😊

[@PSAdventures]

Thank you so much! We love Key West (obviously 😅) and we are fortunate to happen to have a great friend who lives down there. But in the past, we've stayed at some great little spots, like Island City House Hotel. Looks like there are some really great deals this time of year! probably because it's just so hot right now (late July/August) and it's the slow season.

[@carlosmendoza-er7ty]

you guys are great iam def going to this state park in the summer time !!!

Hello Sarah & Paul, we were about to say that Key West has the best beaches ever with no waves until you show the clip with the wind. OH my Gosh! 😅 The addition of the hamac is such a great idea! The snurkling looks fun too. Anne & Eric

[@PSAdventures]

[@PSAdventures]

Thanks so much! There's definitely a lot of history there with Fort Zachary and also the Naval base. I'm sure it was very strategic having those at the southernmost point of the US. Definitely great for snorkeling also!

[@duketrinh4170]

Please name the name of this beach. After watching this entire video, I still don't know what is the name of this beach, and where exactly is it in Key West?...😅 Thank you 😊 for sharing such a charming, lovely life! ❤

[@PSAdventures]

Hi! Thank you for watching! No worries! 😉 It's called Fort Zachary Taylor and it's a state park on the west side of Key West. 😃

[@carolyn_s]

Great video as always! As a local what is your advice if you get stung by a jellyfish? You always hear so many stories about different ways. Also do the barracudas attack?

[@debraparsons2618]

Carolyn ~ First be sure all stingers are removed😒 Always carry a spray bottle with 5% Acetic Acid Vinegar. Spray repeatedly for about 15 minutes💦 Also it is a good idea to apply Calamine Lotion or Hydrocortisone Cream if pain persists😎 (IF You are having this challenge at the beach without these options, the Beach Patrol or Lifeguard should have some first aid options)⛑

[@sarahsolomon1949]

Looks very nice! Would love to go there one day! ❤

[@PSAdventures]

It's definitely a cool place to see if you ever get the chance. It's gotten very expensive to stay there but some ways to make it less expensive are to stay at some of the higher up keys and drive in or maybe even book a camping spot. If you go it's well worth either bringing or renting a bike to get around! Thanks for watching! 💓

Great video! Thanks for sharing!! Ou family loves touring all over Florida. FYI sea grapes are edible. When ripe they are delicious.

[@davlowproductions4326]

First time coming to Key West in April this year. Is that free access to that beach?

[@PSAdventures]

There are a few places that you can go to the beach for free. This beach is in a state park so there's a day use fee that you have to pay for. There are a few others though that are free that we did a video on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaPIZ2NorcZkaJI We hope that helps!

[@Pete_R63]

Although small, a great beach to go to is Simonton Beach. It is fairly well sheltered to the prevailing winds so the visibility in the water is often good when the south side of the island is bad due to the wind. If you bike along North Roosevelt, you can see so many cool creatures just off the sidewalk in the water. I see little 2-3 foot long shark pups that will just circle in 1-2 feet of water, just saw my first sawfish there last month near the BBQ on the water boat restaurant, and you can see baby barracuda, crabs, southern stingrays, spotted eagle rays, juvenile nurse sharks, Cassiopeia jellyfish, horseshoe crabs, it is amazing. I've got videos of most of those things on my channel. For the past 4 years, I 'live' in Key West for the months of May and October and bike daily and scuba with Lost Reef Adventures whenever we have good visibility. I've cruised the waters of Fort Zac with my snorkel gear and my sea scooters.

[@PSAdventures]

That's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing! Sounds like you're living the life in the keys! ❤️
