Two of the best Key West experiences in one trip
Spend the afternoon exploring the crystal-clear water of the Florida Keys, then end the day with an unforgettable Key West sunset. The Sandbar & Sunset Cruise leaves Beachside Resort in the afternoon and cruises to one of Key West's remote sandbars, where there is plenty of time to swim, paddle, float and relax.
Lunch is a fresh gourmet sandwich from a local favorite deli. The open bar pours premium beer, wine and hard seltzers alongside soft drinks and water. Kayaks, paddleboards and oversized floating mats come along.
Then the anchor comes up and the boat cruises home while the sky turns orange, pink and purple over the Gulf of Mexico. Whether you are celebrating or simply making the most of your vacation, this is adventure and sunset cruising in one.
