Had to cancel cruise...help me plan a different trip

I wouldn’t recommend Key West as a vacation spot with little kids. There really isn’t much of a beach there it’s mostly bars, shops and hotels, depending on the time of year some festivals are definitely not kid friendly either. Some of the water sports/activities have age restrictions too.

Some of the other keys are better suited for families. Hawks Cay is a favorite spot for many Floridians on a long weekend getaway and has an all inclusive resort type feel but it’s pricey.

Is there another beach area in Florida you would recommend? I'd like to go snorkeling with my older kid and then we could add a couple days at Legoland which the kids would really like.

Has anyone been on a key west vacation?

We love key west. Book a house with a private pool and then book excursions for days on the water. So many great restaurants and bars and the sunsets are some of the prettiest we have ever seen.

We vacation on 30A every summer. We love to stay at watercolor, but seaside and rosemary are also very lovely. Gorgeous white sand beaches, great restaurants and you get around on bikes or golf carts.

We don’t like to vacation at pigeon forge. Feels so cheap and touristy. Just not our thing. Certainly wouldn’t be a good substitute for a Disney cruise for us.

Google the Watercolor Beach club. It is one of our family’s favorite places. We stay at Watercolor for access to the beach club.
