The biggest public beach in Key West and considered one of the best beaches for gays in the US, Smathers has something for everyone along its 2-mile stretch: sunning, volleyball and ogling on the beach; kayaks, windsurfing and jet-skiing on the water; strolling, roller-blading or biking along the broad sidewalk. And, there are plenty of vendors, food trucks and restrooms to take care of your basic needs.
