Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park

Everything is fine. Nice beach! Today is Oct 19th 2017

As of 3/16/2018, the sign says no dogs.

we have gone snorkeling there.There are 3 different rocky areas and all of them are loaded with something to see not far from the beach so an easy swim .

Absolutely no overnight camping.

Yes

Yes you can.

I don't believe there are lifeguards on duty if that's what you meant

No camping at Fort Zachary Taylor! Some site will list camping and this extremely incorrect!

Yep. You can launch at the east end. No rentals available I think. Need to bring your own kayak.

Your entry fee is good all day...come back to enjoy a nice quiet, romantic sunset

Try Boyd's Campground Kew West FL.

I'm sure the person that worked there would know you can always call them too I never go there on the holidays. There's a military installation nearby and also a toll collector there's a fee to get in the Beach area so I'm not sure you can't get in unless you go through those secure toll booths maybe there's a number to call for Monroe County beaches

Seek help

😀 Hahaha! Never clocked him!

Yes, you can take a bath

The beaches have coral and little gravel like stones right in front of the water. The park has snorkel so anyone can see the fish. The water is clear, warm and calm. It is our favorite KW beach. We pack a lunch and use one of the 50 picnic tables.... they have a burger shop to buy food and drinks.

We just rinsed off in the open outdoor rinse station. Not sure about hot water

8am to sunset every day

Restricted area

Yes keep your entry. Tiket and show it . you don't have to. Pay again, if you like paranormal hang out in fort. Some awesome pic of orbs with faces you can actually see have been taken. My husband gave tours there and had a few experiences that made him believe in paranormal activity

Similar shape it used to be 3 stories now it's only 1

No overnights. Only day visits.

Yes...but be sure to bring towels to wipe your faces off for pictures...it gets soooo hot

Yes u have to pay first can use a card.. a car with 2 people will be $8.00 if its a regular size

Yes you can barbecue there and they also sell food and drinks there in case you don't want to barbecue ✔️

You can probably park down at the beach and walk up to the Fort. I would think it depends on how big the RV is.

Do not think so

Park closes at sunset.

No they close at sunset

Open closes at sunset

Yes, but you will have to talk to the park rangers.

Negative

No

Yes. They are located in the respective restrooms.

Park and beach are open. Small fee is well worth it for the amenities provided.

I think so.

No, it has no RV camping, only parking for visitors, who come to swim and take a sun in a day time.

only coal there have grill

Most hotels or resorts in the area have kayak rentals for pretty low rates check in with your personal hotel

There was quite a bit today due to the rough waters.

Why not just call the office. Off hand I don't think dogs are on the beach

Yes, to an extent. There are sidewalks in the park, and paved parking lots. Further out beach ground is hard enough for strollers yet bumpy, and as you get closer to the shore it becomes harder to push a stroller because of the more loose sand and shells

Not sure what the question is?

Do not expect too much from the beach there. It's nice like everything in Florida but the beach leaves something to be desired. The water, although it is very warm, is not the best or close. There is equal warning when you enter the water quality park.

$2.50 per person walking in or by bicycle. $7 for vehicle and .50 cents for each additional passenger.

Seashells, no. Coral yes.

No they don't

There is a dedicated swimming section near the point on the south side. It is a lot more Rocky that the other beaches but not too bad. If you have sensitive feet, I'd recommend some kind of sandles or swim shoes.

You just have to pay the entrance fee.

They have plenty of parking

Yes, I believe $8.00 for a car for the whole day. Other prices for pedestrians, scooters, bikes I believe but not sure. The park should have a website with current prices.

There used to be a small campground near the entrance to the park I think but not sure. You could call the park service and find out.

Yes, you can.

Note... their are 2 different set of bathrooms. 1 for the fort and 1 for the beach. The bathrooms next 2 the fort do not have lockers. So the lockers have to be located at the beach bathrooms.

From 8 am to sunset

Male and female are fine.

Yes, no problem!

No.

Yes and they swim them at far end

There is a rental area where there are chairs and umbrellas on the beach, but then you are stuck to that area. It's also a bit pricey, in my mind.

Camping is not allowed, but canopy can be setup in day time

It's a perfect place for kids to snorkeling but make sure they have their shoes on, the entire shore has coral rocks...littlerlly rocky.

Yes

Theres a entrance fee which includes parking

Yes you can fish on the far south area of the park. I personally went right at the end of the rock piles better fishing in that area. Just a bit of a challenge to get to the other side just be careful when jumping from one rock to the other. As far as cover. They have beach umbrellas and seats you can rent. But if you want to save yourself the money just go under any tree plenty of them around.

The water is too choppy. You are better off paddling elsewhere. Try lazy dog adventures on stock island.

I believe it was like $5 or $7 for two adults?

Parking for a fee only. Even if you walk in there is a fee.

Yes.

Nope.

Yes they have bathrooms and a place to buy food as well it's a great set up to go with your family or partner it also has grills if you want to have a grill out with friends and family. Such a great place to spend the day

Try the upper keys for tenting. No pitch tent areas in key West. Ft Zachary closes at sunset each day.

No but there is a snack bar, chair and umbrella rentals, bathrooms and outside fresh water showers for rinsing off.

Its a very short walk with very beautiful scenery along the way. Unless you have mobility issues, Uber or a cab would be a waste

Yes

There are local people that do weddings in the park. One happened while i was there contact the park they can get you info.

Florida Welcome Centres have State Park magazine with all info about camping & Day Use only parks with phone numbers & prices.

Most of it is open they were still working on some of it with Bobcats moving sand still very enjoyable

No camping at Ft Zach. Bahia Honda middle keys is one if the best
