Here’s the thing about Key West — it’s not actually a beach town. Most of the action happens on asphalt. Which is exactly why Lagerheads is such a gem. One of the only true beach bars in Key West, this waterfront shack at Simonton Street sits literally on the sand with toes-in-the-water seating, live music strumming through Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead, and Caribbean-inspired food that earns its keep — think fresh fish tacos with mango salsa, Ana’s Authentic Cuban Sandwich, and frozen daiquiris built for hot-sun sipping. Owned by two Key West families with deep island roots including ties to the late Captain Tony himself, Lagerheads also rents watersports gear and runs sunset cruises. Open daily 10 AM to sunset. Pure Keys.
