Key West rewards travelers who slow down. A bicycle lets you move easily between the historic waterfront, quiet Old Town streets, colorful architecture, parks and beaches while still noticing the details that disappear through a car window.
For travelers arriving from Fort Myers Beach aboard Key West Express, a bike tour is also a natural fit. The ferry terminal is near the Historic Seaport, giving you a convenient starting point for either a guided tour or an independent ride. With a thoughtful route and enough time for stops, bicycling can become more than transportation—it can be one of the best experiences of the trip.
