"Located closer to Cuba than to Miami, Key West is Florida’s independent and irreverent southernmost subtropical paradise. A unique confluence of rich history, natural beauty, cultural diversity, historic architecture and romantic appeal makes the island a destination far removed from the rest of the continental United States.


Key West’s balmy climate, historic structures and easygoing lifestyle have long provided a refuge for writers, artists and free spirits seeking a place to soothe and satisfy a quest for independence in mind, body and soul.

Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, Judy Blume and Jimmy Buffett are just a few of the famous creatives who discovered solace and inspiration in the island city. So too did Bahamian shipwreck salvagers, commercial fishermen, sponge harvesters and Cuban cigar makers.

Key West has the largest historic district of wood-frame buildings in the nation. And history lovers can discover the island’s Bahamian and Cuban heritage, prevalent around the island in restaurants, cigar shops and museums.

For intimate lodging the island provides a bounty of bed and breakfasts with architectural qualities evoking eras past, while a wide variety of resorts offers contemporary services and amenities amid scenic surroundings.

Visitors to the island actively participate in sightseeing, on-the-water excursions and eco-tours, shopping, exploring and dining, and then become part of the famed sunset celebration held each evening at Mallory Square. The waterfront venue features tightrope walkers, jugglers, musicians, acrobats and even animal acts that strive to top a more captivating performer: the fiery sun setting into the Gulf of Mexico.

In Key West, visitors can “flamingle” with two flamingos, explore a curiously comforting cemetery, tour Hemingway’s former home and other attractions, discover the riches of a spectacular salvage expedition and enjoy exceptional cuisine. Island beaches offer ample sunning and watersports, while beneath the surrounding turquoise and cobalt waters, historic shipwrecks, a living coral reef and myriad marine plants and animals entice divers and snorkelers eager to explore.

For anglers, billfish beyond the reef and permit and tarpon on the flats are just a few of the local game fish that offer challenging displays of strength.

At night, stars illuminate entertainment opportunities including jazz clubs, piano bars, drag shows and saloons. In addition, theatrical stagings at area playhouses present quality performances and concerts feature talents from local to national.

While the Florida Keys are known as “the islands you can drive to,” Key West is easily accessible by plane via Key West International Airport, with nonstop flights from numerous U.S. metropolitan regions as well as the Florida cities of Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Orlando and Tampa.
