 About Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park

Many people sunbathe on the beach at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park in Key West.

A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

With warm weather and warming waters, Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park is gearing up for a busy spring break season.

Please join us at 12:00 p.m. daily at the fort flagpole for a ranger-guided tour of the historic fort.

Visit our concession for food, beverages and all your beach going needs. They offer umbrella and chair rentals as well as snorkel gear to explore coral rock just offshore.

We are looking forward to your visit.

 

Weddings are available for booking and are coordinated through Fort Zachary Taylor Visitor Services. Please call them at (305) 295-0037 or visit their website.
