About this beach
The beaches (Higgs Beach, Rest Beach, the one at Fort Zachary Taylor) are a side note, not the main event: the city runs on Duval Street, 1.1 miles of bars and shops between the Gulf and the Atlantic, and the Southernmost Point buoy, the most photographed spot in the Keys. Mallory Square is still the go-to place for watching the sunset.
