Serving as the unofficial start to the summer season, Memorial Day in Key West means fun in the sun! Here's how you can make the most of the holiday!  ![luca-r-Q0ah6t1Q-Wk-unsplash](https://www.floridakeys.me/hs-fs/hubfs/luca-r-Q0ah6t1Q-Wk-unsplash.jpg?width=5184&name=luca-r-Q0ah6t1Q-Wk-unsplash.jpg) Memorial Day weekend in Key West is all about relaxing outdoors! The beach is the most popular place to be, so expect huge crowds at [Smathers Beach](https://www.cityofkeywest-fl.gov/facilities/facility/details/Smathers-Beach-5) and other [year-round favorites](https://www.floridakeys.me/the-most-popular-beaches-in-key-west). Get there early to stake out a spot!  You can also try your luck at one of the more secluded beaches in the Florida Keys. Key West's [Boca Chica Beach](https://www.yelp.com/biz/boca-chica-beach-area-key-west) / [Geiger Beach](https://www.yelp.com/biz/geiger-beach-key-west) is a great hidden gem!  Water adventures are also a Memorial Day must. [Fury Water Adventures](https://www.furycat.com/) is a top choice for exciting excursions on the water. They offer catamaran reef snorkeling boats, parasailing boats, glass bottom boats, sunset cruises, and more. Locals and visitors alike love this company!   ![zahid-lilani-d7OoH6e3w7o-unsplash](https://www.floridakeys.me/hs-fs/hubfs/zahid-lilani-d7OoH6e3w7o-unsplash.jpg?width=4912&name=zahid-lilani-d7OoH6e3w7o-unsplash.jpg) Key West will be busy, so plan for extra travel time wherever you're headed- especially if you're headed to the coast! Be sure to pack sunscreen, snacks, and lots of water!  After a day on the water, head back for drinks and a [sunset celebration](https://www.mallorysquare.com/sunset-celebration/) at Mallory Square!   What do you have planned for Memorial Day? Come to Key West and partake in the fun!  ### POPULAR POSTS ### Subscribe to Email Updates ### Recent Posts ### Posts by Topic - [Activities (113)](https://www.floridakeys.me/tag/activities) - [Amusement (101)](https://www.floridakeys.me/tag/amusement) - [Events (95)](https://www.floridakeys.me/tag/events) - [Around Town (67)](https://www.floridakeys.me/tag/around-town) - [Shopping and Dining (64)](https://www.floridakeys.me/tag/shopping-and-dining) ![2_flkeys-1024x597-823233-edited.jpg](https://www.floridakeys.me/hs-fs/hubfs/2_flkeys-1024x597-823233-edited.jpg?width=1024&name=2_flkeys-1024x597-823233-edited.jpg "2_flkeys-1024x597-823233-edited.jpg") CONNECT WITH US - [**](http://www.facebook.com/floridakeys.me) Contact Us [800-678-9999](tel:800-678-9999)   SIGN UP FOR UPDATES Copyright © 2018 Resortia LLC [Privacy Policy](http://steamboat.net/privacy-policy)
