Travel Note

Getting Around Key West

The island is small, only 4-miles wide by 2-miles wide, and the historic quarter known as Old Town is all within a 1-mile radius. Taxis, ride-sharing services, bicycles, walking, and city buses are plentiful and a convenient way to get around. Golf carts & beach bikes are the most popular forms for transportation due to minimal parking in Key West. Thereby, we do not encourage or suggest renting a car. From the airport, we find easiest is to book for a pick up via a Taxi service (they have large vans to accommodate groups/families). See section 'Airport Transportation' for more info! If need be, you can rent all different types of options/style golf carts to meet your needs. We have found it most convenient to just book the golf cart for the day(s) we feel we will need it and pending where you're staying, we usually just walk everywhere else (from in Old Town).
