i was wondering if there are any beaches on key west that touch the gulf of mexico?

There is Simonton Beach, a small beach on the Gulf side at the North end of Simonton St on the Gulf. It's small. The better and larger beaches run along the Southwest side of the island. There are also a few resorts that encircle beaches, but for the most part, you have to be staying at the resort to access them.

Yeah, at the end of simonton
