Trees in Key West

Key West is a small, flat island so trees are sparse here. Palms are often cut down for building so even large palm trees are special. These beauties are along Higgs Beach, one of the most popular Key West beaches.

Beach Walking

Key West has skinny, fragile beaches, so we're not known for them. Also, we don't have much in the way of waves, so there's another whole aspect of the beach vacation that's lacking. But we do live on a sub-tropical island, and it's nice to know there are some beaches you can stroll and explore. Higgs Beach is fun because you can start at the eastern end (the end in the picture) and continue in front of West Martello Tower, ending up at the White Street Pier.
