🏖 Why Smathers Beach Might Just Be Key West’s Best Beach


Hey Reader,

It’s Throwback Tuesday, and this week we’re heading straight for the sand—specifically, Smathers Beach, one of the biggest (and dare I say, most underrated) beach gems in all of Key West. ☀️🏖️🌴

👉 Check out the full post here and get the inside scoop on why this beach is a local fave.

So Why Do We Love Smathers Beach?

🌊 Room to breathe – It’s big, wide, and not shoulder-to-shoulder like some of the other touristy spots.
🛶 Watersports galore – Paddleboards, parasailing... or just floating like a lazy jellyfish.
🌴 That classic beachy vibe – Soft sand, palm trees, and sunshine for days (plus parking that won’t make you cry).

Whether you’re looking to relax under a palm tree or try something adventurous that might end with a splash, Smathers has something for every beach mood.

Have a favorite memory or a beach hack for this sandy slice of paradise? Hit reply and share—bonus points if it includes snacks, sunsets, or seagull drama.

Until next Tuesday, stay sunny and always keep it Key West-y. ☀️🌴

Cheers to saltwater days,
Michele
