Tester Der “Wertzeit”: Higgs Pier isn’t just a wooden walkway into the sea—it’s a portal to inner peace. Paladins of relaxation and bards with selfie sticks gather at dawn and dusk to witness the sun duel the horizon. The breeze? Blessed by ocean druids. The benches? More comfortable than any inn in Baldur’s Gate. And the view? A natural illusion spell cast for free.
Come for the ocean. Stay because your perception check failed to spot any reason to leave.
Regan Sherman: Tell the people staying at casa antiqua that there are ghost and history tours going through the area. Last night someone staying at casa antiqua started yelling hateful things down to our ghost tour group. She was rude and ruined that part of our tour. It wasnt late either. About 9:30.
heather true: Excellent tour! Pony the guide was professional, lively, personable and very knowledgeable! Was a welcome break on our legs. The hop on & off feature is thoughtful.
Abby D: If you’re in Key West out this stop on your destinations list ! Even if you’re not super into military museums ( as I am not ) going through this ship is like a time capsule and will blow you away!
This is a self guided tour and at the time there was only one other couple aboard the ship ahead of us- so we literally had the place to ourselves. We happened upon this floating museum because we were riding our bikes around Key West and this was truly one of the highlights of our time there.
It was $15 regular price and veterans get a discount on ticket price - $10 . This is a private museum and is partially funded by donations so consider a few bucks extra if you can , to help support this piece of living history.
Take your time and walk through. You can go from top to bottom of the ship. There’s a lot that you can touch, but some rooms are behind plexiglass to preserve the displays . This ship is as it was when it was last used in the late 80’s. Things were left there and it’s been used as a museum ever since. I just can’t say enough about how extremely cool going aboard the Ingham was. I really had such a big impact on our Key West adventure.
S Klimek: Off the beaten path. Interesting history of the island. Bring water if you are going to be walking, it gets hot, and you wont want to leave once you get moving. Graves go back to the early 1800s. I would recommend taking a tour of available but I have not been able to find one.
Steve Takata: This is a nice pier to walk out over the water on Key West. There often wading birds like herons here, and occasionally you can spot fish or occasionally Portuguese Man-o-war in the water below.
Kasey Miller: Very interesting piece of history. Free admission.
The staff are all volunteers and super into the history and the visitors, they were so much fun! Find Bum Farto and get a free shot! Or get inducted to The Conch by drinking a shot of rum out of the conch shell with them!
Jacob Curtiss: Great place to spend a few hours kayaking or paddle boarding alone or with friends and family. Youll feel like youre in the middle of the jungle despite being right next to a housing development and international airport. If you are on a tight schedule or you dont want to get lost, I would bring a map or go with a guide.
