Locals love their one-speed beach-style bicycles, known as Conch Cruisers. There are plenty of bike rental places in Key West. One of our favorite bike rental companies in Key West is Island Bicycles, located at 929 Truman Avenue (you can call them at 305-292-9709). They have a decidedly funky, reggae vibe and a good selection of quality rentals. Buses are also available.
If you choose to ride a bike, remember to follow all traffic laws—bike lights are required at night, and helmets are highly encouraged.

Expect plenty of sunshine, ocean breezes, and the occasional tropical downpour during summer.
There’s no shortage of things to do on your days off. Visit famous spots like the Ernest Hemingway Home, Key West Butterfly Conservatory, and Fort Zachary Taylor.
