Key West Attractions And Things To Do

Escape to the colorful, carefree edge of America in Key West, where the southernmost point buoy marks the literal end of U.S. Highway 1 just 90 miles from Cuba, pastel conch houses and gingerbread-trimmed Victorian mansions line palm-shaded streets, and the iconic Duval Street pulses with live music, lively bars, and the legendary sunset celebration at Mallory Square with fire jugglers, tightrope walkers, and the daily green flash over the Gulf of Mexico.

Stroll the Hemingway Home & Museum with its famous six-toed cats, pedal a bike through the quiet, tree-lined lanes of Old Town, snorkel the crystal-clear waters of Dry Tortugas National Park (a short ferry or seaplane away) with Fort Jefferson’s historic brick walls rising from turquoise seas, or simply relax on Smathers Beach with a rum runner in hand—all in a tiny island city that blends Bahamian, Cuban, and old-Florida influences into one irresistible laid-back paradise.

Savor fresh key lime pie (the real thing), conch fritters, spicy Cuban sandwiches, and chilled margaritas amid warm Conch Republic hospitality, roosters strutting the streets, and the unmistakable rhythm of a place where every day feels like a permanent vacation.

Key West isn’t just a destination—it’s the end of the road, the start of paradise, and the soul of the Florida Keys—plan your Key West escape today!
