The BEST BEACH in KEY WEST (yes really) 🌴
Recorded: October 2021
Hey Paul & Sarah, Another great video!!! Thanks for taking us along to Key West!!! So amazing that Fort Zachary Taylor is still standing!!! Yes, the wind can be so crazy in Key West!!! We got caught in a Wind Sand Storm on a Key West Beach & we were getting pelted so bad by the wind & sand that we had to leave in a rush!!! We even had sand between our teeth... LOL!!!
Thank you so much!! We're so happy you enjoyed it! 💓 It's so crazy how the weather can be that different day to day. Whoah! That sounds pretty crazy with the sandstorm. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing!!
I guess I can say I had breakfast in Key West this morning!!! Ahhhhhh! 😍
We're so happy you started the day with us Susan! 💓 Key West is always such a beautiful place to enjoy! 😊
Love your videos so much , such a charmed life you have living in such stunning part of this Earth. Blessings to you always
Wow! Thank you so much for the love! We're so happy you're enjoying them. Florida is such a cool place to live with so many things to see and do! 🌊💓🌴
Love this video so much! A million likes! (; When I live in Key West I will certainly spend much of my time at FZT! The water looks so clear and wonderful! Yes to a vegan picnic! (: Ending the day with a dance on the beach - oh my! (: (: (:
I just finished de-cluttering my apartment! (:
We're always so happy you enjoy our videos Freeman! You're going to love it when you go there. The water is really clear on some days and really stirred up on other days. We definitely love dancing! Decluttering always feels good. Great to hear from you!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for giving all of us a peek at what we're missing. 😁❤
Thank you for the love always Jennifer! We're so happy you enjoyed our video! ❤️❤️❤️
We’ve been to Key West years ago. We missed this. It was a wonderful, enjoyable & beautiful video! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Aww, thank you! Great to hear from you! Key West is one of our very favorite places to visit. We actually just came back from this summer's visit. It was just as beautiful as ever!
On good days ...great beach ....any chop or windy ...sand clouds it up....but i LOVED the " pine" trees on the beach
It's so perfect on a good day! Add a little wind though and you're right, it gets pretty choppy. What kind of trees are those? The only thought that came to mind was pine since the leaves were needles. Maybe cypress?
I just loved this video
We're so happy you enjoyed Lucynda! It's always nice to visit Key West. There's a lot to see and do. Enjoy your visit and thanks for watching! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so very much for this informational video, my family and I are going in April 2023 and this really helped to plan out our trip to Key West. We will definitely add Fort Zachary in. ❤️ from Texas
We're so happy it helped you guys! We have to visit Fort Zachary every time we're in Key West. Hello to you in Texas! We've been once and had it on our list to come back and explore sometime in the future!
Can’t say enough about the beautiful water
I know right? It's hard to be the water in the Florida Keys! 🌊
I love Florida. Thank you for sharing your adventure
It's our pleasure! Thanks so much for watching! 💗
Awesome video! I’m a history buff, plus I love snorkeling. I vaguely remember swimming at Key West as a child. I’m definitely due for another trip down there.
Thanks so much! There's definitely a lot of history there with Fort Zachary and also the Naval base. I'm sure it was very strategic having those at the southernmost point of the US. Definitely great for snorkeling also!
Hey you guys, enjoy and happy travels! Thanks!❤
Thanks so much Kenneth! We really did! Any time we get the chance to go back to Key West we love visiting there and we spend a lot of time at this beach. Thanks for watching!
Nice beach. Nice snorkeling ❤❤❤
It's one of our absolute favorite beaches! ❤️
Love the vibe of the video, thanks for sharing, much love from Canada
Thanks for the love! We always love hear from fellow Canadians! (Sarah's originally from Canada) 🥰
Lovely you two have friends to share your adventures! Looking at MOTM in Key
West, 2022, and flying in on Tuesday 11/2/22. Hope to see you here!
Very nice! We hadn't heard of that so had to look it up. That looks like it'll be a lot of fun. Enjoy Key West and thanks for watching David! 😊
Awesome video. Heading that way this weekend. Been there 2x but never to that beach. Thank you for the informative video.
You're so welcome Bill! We wish we were going this year. We're sad to miss it so enjoy for us!
Hello Sarah & Paul, we were about to say that Key West has the best beaches ever with no waves until you show the clip with the wind. OH my Gosh! 😅 The addition of the hamac is such a great idea! The snurkling looks fun too.
Anne & Eric
It's so crazy how it can be that different from one day to the next! The hammock has been amazing to add to our adventures. It's like bringing a comfy bed with you everywhere! So great to hear from you guys! We hope you're doing well! ❤️❤️❤️
@@PSAdventures We are doing well, thanks!
Very informative video, thanks y’all
We're happy you enjoyed it and hoped it helped Eddie! Thanks for watching! 😊
YAY to the dancing! Makes me smile✨💛
Aww, thank you! Dance like no one is watching! 🥰
Going next week. Can’t wait to check out the beach. What did you film the snorkeling with? And can you rent snorkeling gear at the park?
That's wonderful! We wish for you calm and clear waters (on windy days, it can be churned up). But no matter what, it's beautiful and we're sure you'll love it! We're pretty sure they do rent snorkel gear at the park, but you may want to call to confirm a few days before going to make sure they are still offering that. Oh, and we recorded underwater with our GoPro. Captures some great underwater shots. In case you're interested, we've listed our favorite adventure gear on our website: psadventures.net/gear/ Have a great adventure in the Florida Keys!!
Love your content! We are headed to FL in 2 weeks and your travels have been super helpful and inspiring
Thank you so much! We're so happy you're liking our vids! Enjoy your stay in Florida! Where are you headed to?
Overboard! One of my faves too!
Yes!! We've seen that movie so many times! 😊🛳
Bahia Sound in a state park near the bridge is my favorite beach. Swam with a 20 foot ray there once upon a time.
Whoa! That must have been an amazing experience! We would love to swim with a big beautiful manta ray sometime. It'll happen one day! We haven't been out to Bahia Honda State Park yet but it's on our list. Thanks so much for watching! 😊
OVERBOARD is the movie..😊
Good job! We were hoping someone out there would get our reference! 😂
@@PSAdventures yay me!!! Lol
I live in the town Overboard was filmed. And I'm watching your videos because we're moving to Florida next week.
Man overboard is kissing woman overboard!
Ha ha! Yes! So awesome that you all get it. Sarah's absolute favorite movie ❤️
you guys are great iam def going to this state park in the summer time !!!
That's so awesome Carlos! 😊 Definitely check it out if you're in the area. Every time we go to Key West we always have a day or two that we spend at this park. Enjoy!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!! Ou family loves touring all over Florida. FYI sea grapes are edible. When ripe they are delicious.
Thank you! We're glad to hear you guys like to tour the beautiful sunshine state. 💗 We can't believe we never knew that sea grapes are edible! Wow. I guess the next thing we have to look is how to know when they're ripe. 🤔
Great place to be. I was in Key West just last month.
Nice! We try to make it there once every couple years but we go any time we get the chance. That's awesome that you were just there!
Nice video - cute couple too. Wife and I were just there March 1st. We walked but biking next time! Loved the Fort and snorkeling there. I always worry about leaving valuables on the beach - glad you brought a friend along!
Hi there! So glad you got to experience this beautiful island too! Biking is highly recommended. If you can't bring your own bike next time, there's also a few bike rental shops in town. 😎
@@PSAdventures Yes, after that walk to/from we found WeCycle near our hotel!
Makes a lot of sense! That's a really hot walk!
Looks very nice! Would love to go there one day! ❤
It's definitely a cool place to see if you ever get the chance. It's gotten very expensive to stay there but some ways to make it less expensive are to stay at some of the higher up keys and drive in or maybe even book a camping spot. If you go it's well worth either bringing or renting a bike to get around! Thanks for watching! 💓
Love it!
Thank you! We're glad you liked it!
Bahia Honda is Beautiful too
We definitely have Bahia Honda on our list for when we go back. It would've been so cool to go when we were there but ran out of time. Thanks for the suggestion! 😊
I love that beach but the best one is Bahia Honda some 30 miles up north.
We agree Bahia Honda is amazing!! We actually just came back from the Keys again and spent some good times there. 🥰
Great video! You guys are inspiring!
Thank you so much Sly Fox! You just made us smile. And love your name! 😊
❤❤❤
Thank you for the love!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ nice video.
Thank you! 😄
Please name the name of this beach.
After watching this entire video, I still don't know what is the name of this beach, and where exactly is it in Key West?...😅
Thank you 😊 for sharing such a charming, lovely life! ❤
Hi! Thank you for watching! No worries! 😉 It's called Fort Zachary Taylor and it's a state park on the west side of Key West. 😃
Just discovered you guys!
I miss home😢
Thank you!
Hello Gina! We're so happy you found us! Did you live in the Keys before? We could spend a ton of time there. It's such a slow pace of life! ❤️🌴🥥
@@PSAdventures yes I grew up there from age 1 til I was 17…in 1975.. it was a magical time in Key West
Awesome video! What AirBNB or hotel did you guys stay at close to Fort Zachary Taylor?
Thank you so much! We love Key West (obviously 😅) and we are fortunate to happen to have a great friend who lives down there. But in the past, we've stayed at some great little spots, like Island City House Hotel. Looks like there are some really great deals this time of year! probably because it's just so hot right now (late July/August) and it's the slow season.
Great video as always! As a local what is your advice if you get stung by a jellyfish? You always hear so many stories about different ways. Also do the barracudas attack?
Carolyn ~ First be sure all stingers are removed😒
Always carry a spray bottle with 5% Acetic Acid Vinegar. Spray repeatedly for about 15 minutes💦
Also it is a good idea to apply Calamine Lotion or Hydrocortisone Cream if pain persists😎
(IF You are having this challenge at the beach without these options, the Beach Patrol or Lifeguard should have some first aid options)⛑
@@debraparsons2618 Thanks so much for that information! I will definitely keep that handy.
@@debraparsons2618 Can you see the stingers?
@@carolyn_s Sometimes😏 Sometimes you may only feel them. Most of the time there are no stingers, Only the welts and pain😥
@@debraparsons2618 I see. Good to know. Thanks!
so awesome !!! My husband and i got married there
Wow! What a beautiful place to get married. You guys must have some beautiful memories of your wedding there. 🌴💖
Hey guys it's me again watching another one of your older videos and I have to say I've noticed that your videos we getting a lot more commercials does that mean you guys are getting more views I hope so keep up the good work it's Friday and I'm seeking Saturdays LOL
Haha!! We're still Seeking Saturdays! 😊 It does seem like our views have been picking up. It's amazing! You always make us smile Kerry. We hope you're doing well and find some time to relax!
I love her hat! Where is it from?
Thank you so much!! I don't remember exactly where I got it from, but it might have been Marshalls. I use a few different hats as they wear out. It's always good to have sun protection! 🌞
First time coming to Key West in April this year. Is that free access to that beach?
There are a few places that you can go to the beach for free. This beach is in a state park so there's a day use fee that you have to pay for. There are a few others though that are free that we did a video on: czcams.com/video/3re602xa120/video.html We hope that helps!
The sea grapes are edible. They super dark purple are very tasty. There is a big seed inside.
Wow! We had no idea they were edible and always figured they were poisonous. Everyone should definitely look up anything they might consider eating but that's interesting! It does say they're protected so you're probably not necessarily allowed to eat them but thanks for letting us know!
@@PSAdventuresWhen I was a little girl in Cuba I would eat them all the time when I went to the beach. Now as an adult when I visit Puerto Rico I eat them. Here in Florida when I find them super ripe by the beach also enjoy them. But yes everyone should always look up info before eating something new.
@@yoasali7952 I eat them around Miami Beach with no problem.
nice video
Thanks so much for watching! We're happy to have you here! 😊📺🎉
How are you guys like the van life I'm so jealous
We're loving van life! Since we're still more of weekend warriors, we'd actually love to be in the van a lot more than we get to! But having a van is a major game changer and makes it so much easier to get outdoors and do more things. We can't picture life without it now. Thanks for the question Kerry!
I’ve been there as well as long as you have water shoes you’re good , if you don’t you can’t go in the water basically
Yes, that's definitely true sometimes! It must be different though depending on when they bring in the sand because the last time we went it was much smoother with very few exposed rocks! 🙃
@@PSAdventures I’ve been there twice , I didn’t know they brought in sand, some local guy told em about this beach and recommended the shoes I was glad I listened lol it’s a great beach tho you can swing into the ocean all the way to the rocks in the middle it’s nice
@@PSAdventures ohhh and cold beer too at the bar
What cafe in beginning?
That was our favorite - Anna's Cafe! We grab a different smoothie and those delicious potatoes every morning when we're in Key West. And sometimes a fresh coconut. Yum!
We’ll,
Last week we were there and the darn seaweed was unreal! So nasty… and dirty lol
That's too bad about the seaweed! We're headed to Key West next week actually, so fingers crossed we picked a good week for the beaches! Otherwise, looks like we'll be hanging around town, which is fun too. 😄
@@PSAdventures thnx for your reply! As you know, there’s so much to do! Have another amazing trip. Looking forward to another fantastic video 💯❤️
Oh BTW, this weekend we’re going yo that spring past Gainesville you posted. Can’t remember the name right now haha But we’re really excited!
@@kennybeaudrie9021 We're always excited to go to Key West, so who knows what we'll get into it this time lol Have a great time this weekend! Gilchrist Blue springs?
I just want to make if there’s any rocks inside of it
Yes there are definitely some small rocks leading out into the water. You can go barefoot if you have tougher feet but it's much easier with flip flops or sandals! 😊
Movie was "overboard "
You got it!! 😄 Woohoo! Sarah's favorite movie 💓
What name de beach??
Hi! This is the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. There's a small fee to get in, but it's worth it. If you visit, make sure to check out the fort, too! We also made this video about all the beaches in Key West, in case you're interested! czcams.com/video/3re602xa120/video.html
They need to plant mangrove trees.
That's an interesting thought! Wonder if it would work around that exposed island. There are lots of mangroves on the handful of islands north of Key West, and you can even go paddling throughout the mangroves there!
Well tell all the good folks watching this, how many beaches there are in Key West.
At least nice ones. lol
Real beach lovers would question claims about nice beaches anywhere in the keys for that matter.
We were so surprised when we looked around for really nice beaches. Everyone always thinks the beaches must be nice like in the Caribbean and it's totally the opposite! We listed the best beaches that were in the area. So surprising!
NIPPLE RING CREEPING ME OUT!!!
Why does it creep you out? 😂 Ah well! I love it. He's actually had it for a very long time - since before we met! 😆
Sorry to tell you. That is not a pine forest. Those are actually Australian Pine trees. Called Pine, but are not true pine trees. They are invasive trees. Love the vids.
Interesting! We didn't know that. We saw the needles and they really looked like pine needles. The park rangers were busy cleaning up the area so might have been getting rid of other invasive plants. Thanks for sharing Mike!
Forest Gump!
I guess I did sound like Forest Gump! 😂
Overboard
You got it!! 🎉 Now that was a good movie! The remake was okay but it's hard to beat the original! 🚢
Being the best beach in key west isn't saying much. All the beaches there are pretty meh compared to anywhere else in Florida.
Yeah when we first went to Key West we were thinking there were going to be so many amazing beaches because it's an island! We were surprised to find out there's actually not many and most of them aren't great. This one's definitely the best in our book though!
The cruise ships dump their sewage there
We love to go on cruises, but yeah, the waste has to go somewhere... Then again, all our waste from our homes goes somewhere as well...
I immediately stopped watching the second I saw the nipple ring. 😳 hard pass.
😥😥😥
What a strange reaction! Somebody in a video has a nipple ring and you have to stop watching? Quoting from The Doors ... People Are Strange.
@@DEIGNANMAGIC I was just kidding. I love his nipple ring.
You should've seen some of the wilder things we saw at Fantasy Fest! 😮😂 A funny detail is the nipple ring is leftover from my crazy 20's that I never ended up taking out, but just kept it. It always surprises people that back then I even had a tongue bar and ear rings! I ended up growing up a little bit but had to keep a tiny vestige of the past for ice breaking conversation! 😆
@@PSAdventures I wish I was there!!!
Fort Zachary has got to be literally the worst beach I've ever seen. We went there based on so many recommendations only to be met by rocks galore and washed out sand. I honestly cannot understand why people recommend this beach.
Oh, that's too bad you that experience! So... we have been there a number of times, and there's been a couple times that were not as pleasant. Really depends on where they are with any restorations (rocks, etc) and also how the wind is. We have another one to recommend! Have you tried Smathers Beach? 😊
Overboard
Yes!! You got it. 😊
