ARE GOLF CARTS ALLOWED IN KEY WEST?

Answer: Yes, golf carts are absolutely allowed in Key West and they are one of the best ways to experience the island.

In fact, once you see how easy and fun it is to get around town in a golf cart, you may never want to drive a regular car here again. Key West is small, colorful and built for cruising. Most city streets have speed limits of 35 mph or less, which makes them perfectly legal for street-legal golf carts. That means you can comfortably drive through Old Town, explore historic neighborhoods and roll right down Duval Street without worrying about oversized vehicles or tight parking.

Visitors love using golf carts to explore areas like the Historic Seaport, Mallory Square and the Truman Annex neighborhood. You can pull into small side streets, discover hidden cafés and navigate Old Town’s charming lanes without feeling rushed. Parking is far simpler than with a full-size car and many spots that are tight for regular vehicles are perfect for carts.

Golf carts are especially popular with families and groups. Everyone rides together, you avoid splitting up into multiple cars and transportation becomes part of the vacation experience. Because Key West is only about four miles long and two miles wide, you’re never far from your next stop. From the airport to Duval Street, from Smathers Beach to Fort Zachary Taylor, everything feels connected and easy to reach.

So are golf carts allowed in Key West? Yes, and they’re more than allowed. They’re embraced. They’re practical, fun and perfectly suited for island life. If you want to explore Key West the right way, cruising in a golf cart is about as local as it gets. More info on golf cart rentals
