  1. Fort Zachary Taylor is the beach Key West hopes you never find
    Everybody piles onto Smathers while the real swimming beach sits inside a state park most tourists walk right past. Bring water shoes, pay the small park entry, and you get the clearest water on the island with a fraction of the crowd.

  2. Skip the Mallory Square sunset circus — watch from here instead
    Everyone funnels into Mallory. Walk 10 minutes to the Fort Zachary pier and get the same sunset without the crowd.
