Biking

Key West was practically made for bicycles, but don’t let that lull you into a false sense of security. Narrow and one-way streets along with car traffic result in several bike accidents a year. Some hotels rent or lend bikes to guests; others will refer you to a nearby shop and reserve a bike for you. Rentals usually start at about $12 a day, but some places also rent by the half day.

A&M Rentals. Rent beach cruisers with large baskets, scooters, and electric minicars. Look for the huge American flag on the roof, or call for free airport, ferry, or cruise-ship pickup.
