If you’re visiting Key West and not renting a scooter, you’re doing it all wrong. Walking is exhausting, cars are a nightmare to park, and rideshares add up fast. But with a scooter? You own the island. Zip through hidden streets, stop at legendary food spots, and hit every beach without breaking a sweat. Here’s how to turn your Key West trip from average to unforgettable—on two wheels.
1. Eat Your Way Through Key West
Key West has some of the best food in Florida, and a scooter makes it easy to hop from spot to spot.
You can start from Five Brothers Store, a tiny and family-run shop that is famous for its Cuban coffee and fresh sandwiches. It’s where the locals go, and once you try it, you’ll see why.
There is also Seafood Shacks and you only need to ride along the coast and stop at any of the local seafood spots. Grab a basket of conch fritters, dig into fresh Key West pink shrimp, or try spiny lobster straight from the ocean.
2. Enjoy the Arts and Culture Scene
Key West is more than beaches. It’s full of creativity, and with a scooter, you can visit all the best spots.
Cruise through Old Town and stop at art galleries that show local talent. Places like Art Gone Wild and Wyland Gallery are great for unique finds.
Also keep an eye out for colorful murals and cool graffiti as you ride. Some of the best artwork is hidden in small alleys and side streets.
3. Visit the Best Beaches
One of the best things about having a scooter? You can hit multiple beaches in a single day without the parking headache.
Start with Smathers Beach, the largest one in Key West, and then go to Higgs Beach if you want a quieter spot with picnic tables, a dog park, and calm waters for swimming.
4. Catch a Sunset at Mallory Square
Every evening, Mallory Square turns into a party. Street performers, musicians, and food vendors fill the area as people gather to watch the sun go down. It’s one of the best things to do in Key West, and with a scooter, you can roll right up and find a spot without any hassle.
5. Ride to the Best Photo Spots
Key West is full of picture-perfect locations. With a scooter, you can stop wherever you want and snap amazing photos.
6. Try Some Watersports
Scooters make it easy to get to all the best watersport locations. Whether you want to snorkel, paddleboard, or go jet skiing, you can park nearby and get straight to the fun.
7. Shop at Local Markets
Key West has great little markets where you can find handmade crafts, fresh fruit, and unique souvenirs.
8. Visit Historic Landmarks
Key West has a rich history. You can visit the Key West Cemetery, renowned for its unusual tombs and epitaphs, and the Old Town Streets, where you can drive past brightly colored homes, old buildings, and secret sites that tell the story of Key West’s past.
