Bikes

If you ride bikes often at home or on vacation, you will find bikes a great, affordable choice to get around Old Town. I wouldn’t recommend them if you’re staying in New Town, due to the distance and traffic you will encounter. Bikes offer a lot of freedom from parking, and offer easy access to most attractions. You will want to ride defensively, as Old Town is a regular town with delivery trucks, and traffic.

Scooters

Scooters are an affordable way to get around the island. They provide flexibility and easy parking. They’re great for single or double riders. You can get to all the beaches, attractions, and events on a scooter. You will want to drive defensively, as Old Town has a lot going on with pedestrians and traffic.

Why are golf cart rentals the best choice for transportation in Key West? Since Key West has a lot more to see than just Duval Street. Having a fun and safe way to get around to all the best spots will provide additional opportunities for fun. There are beaches & parks for swimming & snorkeling, restaurants & bars, museums and historic houses, and the popular Southernmost Point. Because some point of interest are close, but others are spread out on the island, walking around the island to see everything can be very challenging when it’s hot outside. So, if you want to see as much as you can without wearing yourself out, rent a golf cart.

Can golf carts really be fun and safe? Absolutely! When cruisin’ around with your family and friends to check out ALL the best spots, you’ll really enjoy having the shade from the canopy and feeling the salty breeze. Additionally, riding in a golf cart makes sightseeing much easier because you have more visual area than riding in a car. The best part is that golf carts are easy to drive, and are street legal with all the required safety additions. They’re safer for families who want to travel together than bikes, and the best way to get around for those who have mobility issues.

Where should I go on a golf cart? Some of my favorite spots to take a golf cart ride to are Ft Zachary Taylor State Park to enjoy the view of the historic Key West Harbor, Higgs Beach Park for snorkeling off the beach, and Salute on the Beach! for lunch and a glass of wine. I have a lot more special spots that I can share with you, depending on your interests.  😎

Cayo Hueso is the original Spanish name for the island of Key West. Translated it means “bone cay”, cay referring to a small, low island or reef. It is said that the island was littered with the remains (bones) of prior native inhabitants, many Calusa Indians, who used the isle as a communal graveyard. When the English came to Cayo Hueso they mistook the name as Key West, and the island was henceforth known as Key West.
