- PowerTrippersCocoa Beach, FL1,312 contributionsWe enjoyed a beautiful Key West afternoon at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. The fort was very interesting, though lacking in signage explaining what you were seeing. Still, very cool place.
The beach was absolutely beautiful, and was a wonderful place to swim. The water was very tropical looking, and was the perfect temperature for swimming.
No trip to Key West would be complete without a visit to Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. Two thumbs up!

Our first time staying in the Florida panhandle. Spent total of 5 days and 6 nights here. Rented an amazing beachfront condo through Airbnb - Rm 1301 in the TidewaterBeach Resort. Our first full day in PCB we lazily got up and around and headed down to the beach with our chairs we brought after we ate lunch. It was breezy but only one red warning flag posted so we could go into the gulf and swim, etc. without being fined. The rental chairs on the beach cost $50/hr! So glad we brought our own. We walked each direction on the beach alternating days, one of our highlights. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t on our side after that day. The winds called for double red flags so no swimming in the ocean. The 2 outdoor pools are each on the side of the 39 story resort and the chairs there didn’t come out these days due to wind and storms. There were tornado watches as well. The temps here were in the 70’s the week before ours but in the 60’s and cooler while we were here. It made for cooler temps when the it rained because of the wind but we still did our beach walks. One silver lining was the resorts did not rake their beachfronts so we found a very few little whole shells! Another goal of ours. We thought there would be way more. We had reserved a full day mid week for a pontoon boat to cruise around St. Andrew’s Bay. On our first day in PCB, I noticed the weather was not looking good for outdoor stuff so I called Beachy Boat Rentals who kindly changed our reservation to Friday, our last day there. Hubby Eric has a lot of experience operating various types of boats so we did ok crossing a large part of the bay to get to Shell Island and we collected a few more shells, but they were far and few between even there. We ended up heading back to the marina a few hours early as it was so choppy, we were getting really wet and cold. And we’re tough and used to cold weather/water. It was beautiful! We ate dinner out every evening and really liked a few of the restaurants for their seafood, reasonable prices, and atmosphere: Dusty’s, Sharkey’s, Hook’d, and Margaritaville. There are many places to eat here! There are also a few decent grocery stores nearby. There are several places where you can access the beach if you aren’t staying on it. Pier Park is a nice and safe and clean shopping area across the main beach road, Front Beach, and you can either park to the west of Pier Park in the big lot, or take a shot at pulling into a parallel spot along the road, beachside. We did both. There are several little shops and restaurants in Pier Park, and a large Ferris wheel and other activities. Very touristy. It’s across Front Beach from the long pier which we walked out on to the first evening. Hubby got to check out just how they were fishing, etc. He went fishing there the next day with his wagon (we brought from home) full of supplies but he didn’t bring his fillet knife! So the 3 x 22” Bluefish he caught he gave to others!!! Oh well. He had a nice time, and that’s when my son and I shopped Pier Park. While March is the big Spring Break month, April isn’t so much so it wasn’t packed, not lots of traffic, hardly any noise and partying (yep, I’m getting old! Been there, done that!). Overall, I’d go back again and would hope to have better weather. There are lots of things to do for families with small kids, we noticed.Written April 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Deborah C50 contributionsThis review covers the wide beach near Guy Harvey Resort. I was on the beach with a cup of coffee at 6:45 to catch the sunrise. There were only a few other people on the beach at that hour and the sand stretches for miles in either direction. As the day progresses, hotel and resort guests start to dot the beachscape, but it's really mostly beautiful and quiet. No parasailing or jet ski shops near where I was. No one hawking anything! Just the beach and the waves and little shore birds with their skinny little legs racing around like an old timey Keystone Kops movie! The Atlantic is pretty cold at that hour, but I had to get my feet in there and after a while you don't even notice the cold. Dunes located closer to beachside properties are filled with wildflowers and seagrasses that scent the air. The beach itself was spotless. Though the hotels and condos that line the beach are large, they appear tiny when viewed from the beach side. Local ordinance limits the height of buildings and that's a good thing as there are no high rises to block views. Loved every second of my time here.Written May 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Melissa2 contributionsI absolutely loved st Pete beach!!! It’s not much different than Clearwater Beach but by far less busy! The water is crystal clear and when I went was the perfect beach day! I took the sun runner directly to the beach and the trolley drops you off right at the beach so pretty easy. I have wanted to go to st Pete beach for years and finally glad I did.Written April 17, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cancun_curiousStaten Island, NY167 contributionsGorgeous beach with facilities, etc. and plenty of space to spread out. We stayed at a hotel nearby, came down onto the beach through June Decker public access (very crowded), and walked in front of a hotel's chairs to get to this wide, gorgeous beach.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
