Visitors can often spot wildlife without booking a dedicated eco tour by spending time near Key West's beaches, marinas, and waterfront parks. Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park, Higgs Beach, the Key West Historic Seaport, and the White Street Pier are all good places to watch for seabirds, tropical fish, rays, sea turtles, and occasionally dolphins. Visitors may also see iguanas, chickens, and other island wildlife while exploring Old Town Key West. While wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, spending time near the water often provides opportunities to observe the island's diverse coastal ecosystem.
