You didn’t come all the way to Key West to stare at traffic or wait in line. You’re here for the sun, the breeze, and the kind of views that make your friends jealous. And trust us, Key West is packed with them.
With a golf cart, the wind in your hair, and your playlist on full blast, you’re free to chase the island’s most beautiful spots, park steps from the action, and soak up unreal views that most tourists miss entirely.
Here are the 10 you’ll want to save to your camera roll as you turn up in your A&M Rentals golf cart.
1. Mallory Square at Sunset
Every evening, this waterfront hotspot transforms into a front-row seat to the sky’s best performance. You can think of bold pinks, deep oranges, and crowds cheering as the sun hits the horizon. Add in fire jugglers, food carts, and street musicians and you’ve got a Key West tradition you’ll never forget.
2. Southernmost Point Buoy
It’s the must-have photo of your trip. It’s 90 miles to Cuba, the turquoise ocean behind you, and that famous buoy in bold red and yellow. Roll up early in the morning or closer to sunset for fewer crowds and better lighting.
3. Fort Zachary Taylor State Park
Drive southwest and step back in time. This fort-turned-state park offers sweeping Atlantic views, weathered brick walls, and high points for capturing panoramic shots of the sea, beachgoers, and passing ships. It’s a view with history baked in.
4. Key West Lighthouse & Keeper’s Quarters
For this, first admire the beautiful sight from your golf cart, then park and climb 88 steps for a skyline view of Old Town, dotted with pastel rooftops and palm trees. The harbor gleams in the distance, and it’s one of the few places on the island where you can take it all in from above.
5. Duval Street from Above
Want the classic Key West buzz but from a calmer angle? Park your cart halfway down Duval and head up to a second-story bar or café. You’ll get a great shot of the neon signs, swaying palms, and slow-rolling island energy.
6. Key West Historic Seaport
Drive down Caroline Street to this working waterfront. Fishing boats and charter yachts bounce along the dock while the morning light hits the water just right. Great for photos. Better for just slowing down and taking it in.
7. Sunset Key Viewpoint
This is not as crowded as Mallory Square, but you’ll find this west-facing spot as somewhere you can even return to more than once. From the beach or nearby pier, you can catch cruise ships sailing off as the sun drops low. It’s quiet, peaceful, and pure Key West.
8. Higgs Beach Pier
This is a long wooden walkway that stretches into bright blue water. Whether it’s early morning or just before dusk, Higgs Pier is made for slow strolls and ocean-gazing. Park the cart nearby and let the breeze do the rest.
9. West Martello Tower Gardens
This is mostly a hidden spot, and it feels like stepping into a secret garden. It’s tucked away in tropical blooms and scattered sculptures, but the views here are subtle yet beautiful. You should walk the grounds, climb the tower, and enjoy a break from the buzz.
10. Smathers Beach Coastal Drive
Roll the windows down and cruise. With the ocean on one side and palm-lined sidewalks on the other, this coastal stretch is as smooth as it gets. Pull over at any open spot and snap your own version of paradise.
