Lonely Planet review

Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park 'America's Southernmost State Park' (we get it, Keys Chamber of Commerce - Key West is southern), this park is oft-neglected by authorities and visitors, which is a shame as it's a nice place to while away a quiet afternoon. The actual fort's walls are still standing, and within the compound those most-blessed of nerds - historical re-enactors - put on costumes and act out scenes from Civil War and pirate days.

Butterflies flit over the grounds, and the beach is quiet and quite pretty to boot.
