KEY WST BY WHEELCHAIR

We stay nearby at the Southernmost on the Beach, a modern hotel that has cozy, comfortable rooms as the name says -- on the beach.

Wheelchair-accessible rooms with a king bed are on the first floor with accessible parking spaces right outside the door. Wide doorways, grab bars and a roll-in shower with fold-down seat provide good access.

Access could be improved at the property by widening the path of travel that passes in front of the rooms outside, ramping the sun deck and purchasing a lift for the pool.

A perfect nearby spot for breakfast (they serve lunch and dinner, too) is the Duval Beach Club. Just a short, accessible walk from the hotel via paved paths and sidewalks, the casual restaurant is open from floor to ceiling on the side closest to the ocean.
Ask for a table on the beach side and watch the golden sun rise in the cerulean sky while listening to the seductive rhythm of the surf. Breakfast entrees are reasonably priced and tasty, and the servers have that Key West blend of tropical ease and Bohemian friendliness.
