Can anyone tell me if there is a free beach near there? There are no free beaches around there but you can go out to the beach on Sunset Key which is associated with the Westin. You get a pass for the beach from the concierge and they will sign you up for the ferry. The pass is $40 for people not staying at The Westin and $20 for people who are guests of the hotel. Beach chairs are available there. and an upscale restaurant - L'Attitudes. Or you can walk over to the beach at Fort Zachery Taylor. There is an admission charge there, too, and you can rent beach chairs and there is a snack bar. Pjk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery Seas Cruiser Posted March 31, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 31, 2009 There are two free beaches, but you will find them a very, very long walk. I suggest a taxi. They are Smathers Beach and Higgs Beach. The beach at Sunset Key is just lovely. I'm a big fan of Sunset Key, but it is quite a high fee. I'm also a huge fan of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park. There is a daily fee, but it is good for the entire day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
