Dinghy docks seem to be everywhere in Key West. This one in Key West Bight Marina is one of the larger dinghy docks in town.

Dinghies like these are used by individuals to get to and from their anchored homes. Key West is a high cost area to live so many folks just live in boats anchored in sheltered areas around Key West and use a dinghy like the ones you see here to get to and from work.

Parking is virtually nonexistent in Key West. Sure there is some for motel/hotel customers but when those folks leave the hotel in their automobiles there is no where for them to park. Thus tourist as well as locals use bicycles and motor scooters for transportation.

Sights like this with a raft of bicycles and motor scooters is common throughout Key West.

In this particular area the bicycles and motor scooters are probably owned by individuals working jobs at Key West Bight Marina, either on the myriad boats or in the restaurants and shops.
