Clarence S.Higgs Memorial Beach - Key West (FL)

4 /5 Jessica Velez: This beach was okay. There are alot of rocks right along the shore where you walk in (you cant avoid it), we almost fell every time getting in and out perhaps because the waves were kind of strong that day and there was also a steep dip in the water along the rocks/shore. The water was nice and it was very clean. The stairway to get to that pier was super slippery due to the algae so be careful. One really cool thing was that although the beach is small.there was an umbrella and chair service there for cheap, you could rent all day until 5pm. There were some beautiful palm and coconut trees and there was a restaurant with clean bathrooms right next to it. It was also very lively but not too loud, people playing volleyball and some people playing an instrument on the sand, it was pleasant. It was nice for my hubby and I to relax and drink but I would not bring my kids here and if we had a car I might go to another beach because of the rocky shoreline.

5 /5 Nils M.: This location offers one of Key Wests prime sunset viewing spots, ideal for capturing the islands famous evening sky. The real advantage here is the convenient free public parking nearby - a rare find in Key West where parking fees can be notably expensive. Location Benefits: - Prime sunset viewing location on the pier - Free public parking available (around 10 min walk) - Easy walking distance to the viewing area - Significant cost savings on parking Pro Tip: Arrive 30-45 minutes before sunset to secure both a parking spot and a good viewing position on the pier

5 /5 Marcita Evans: The beach is beautiful and its one of the only beaches on Key West with parking. We got up early and walked along the beach. Then we walked unto the pier and waited for the sunrise. Even the clouds couldnt put a damper on the magnificence of the sun rising!

4 /5 tim: Beach was fine, but Id recommend watershoes. The first 20 feet is all rocks and coral. I had to carry my youngest out to the sandy part. Bathrooms were fairly clean but no changing rooms. Free parking was appreciated. Got to see a turtle released.

5 /5 Heather Blake: Lovely white sand beach with clean, clear, cold in Nov, water. Perfect place to park and unwind. Parking was free. Southernmost point was a 15 minute walk and so was Duval St. Theres a tennis and volley ball court, and I saw two gazebos of which one was in use. The beach boasts one large restaurant with plenty of seats. Public bathrooms for the beach were extremely clean. Did not see a family restroom though. The kids "park" was cordoned off as if it was damaged by a storm, but, its not really necessary on a beach. Quite pleased with the beach.
