“They keep the place clean, giving you a great spot to swim in clear water under planes coming into and out of the surrounding airports.”

What parents say

Really nice pool, free to use, but no adult beverages allowed. Great place to cool off.

Flew to Dry Tortugas. Return visit, best pool anywhere! Paradise and all to myself today. 🌴🏊🏻‍♂️❤️ I come here everytime I visit Key West, my favorite outdoor pool, so glad it survived the hurricane. 😎🌴🏊🏻‍♂️ Quiet, friendly & clean lap swimming just a few blocks from the southernmost point.

Great and clean pool with nice showers and chairs to take a break and enjoy yourself.

★★★★★ — Alaska, Aug 2018

The best kept secret in Key West, with a pool large enough for a lot of people but without all the people. The cold showers will wake you up on the way in. They keep the place clean, giving you a great spot to swim in clear water under planes coming into and out of the surrounding airports.
