Key West Tourism Guide

A trip to the Florida Keys can be a memorable experience for everyone. Some reasons for this are obvious - sunny skies, white beaches, a warm and calm ocean, fishing, snorkeling, evergreen scenery. But there is more to it - the real jewel awaits you at the very end of the island chain, because that's where the city of Key West is located.

Beaches are one of the main attractions
in Key West Tourism

In fact, it may be that the location makes this place and the people who live there rather special. As you drive along the Overseas Highway, it seems that with every mile you pass your worries are left farther and farther behind.

Key West is different than any other tourist town on the continent. Its remoteness and tropical scenery let you forget that you are still in the mainland United States.

Playing in warm water of Key West Beaches

You can wander around, watching little gardens full of flowering plants and majestic palm trees that surround almost every house, while breathing the warm, humid air without a worry on your mind.

There are museums to visit and beaches to enjoy as the days are lazy and the sun is pretty dependable. Everybody is waiting for the evening when a big crowd gathers on Mallory Square, just on the edge of the sea, next to the cruise dock.

Mallory Square is famous for its nightly sunset-watching ritual.
Jugglers, magicians, and ropewalkers entertain the crowd, while the ocean and sky turn yellow and then red as another day draws to a close. Finally, the crowd roars as the last ray of sunshine disappears below the horizon and the party moves to Duval Street. Bars and restaurants fill up with people.

Once you find your favorite place it's time to enjoy another great evening in paradise. Many establishments don't even bother with windows, that's what Key West tourism is about.
