C. B. Harvey Rest Beach Park

The C.B. Harvey Rest Beach Park is one of the newer parks in the city of Key West, Florida. It is newly landscaped and features a picnic area which enables people to enjoy a restful family experience on the beach. You can pack a lunch, bring the kids and kick back by the sparkling blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean that lap the shores of Key West beaches. The park is located near the White Street Pier. It is one of the best locations to watch the famous Key West sunsets that can be seen slowly dipping below the horizons. Many places in town fill up with unmanageable crowds when the time for the setting sun arrives, but this park enables you to spread out and get comfortable, without missing a moment of the evening's actions. The park has about half a dozen picnic areas, so if you want a place to sit and dine, arrive early. There are also dunes, a bike path and a wheelchair runway, making the park handicap accessible. The beach and park were named for a former mayor of the city, Cornelius Bradford Harvey. He was also commissioner of the city. The park is just minutes from many of the city's best restaurants, bars and shops.
