Top 10 attractions in Key West
Key West
Key West is also known asthe westernmost key, sitting among the thousands of islands and reefs of the Florida Keys at the far southwest end of the archipelago. It is a tropical coral island and the southernmost city in the continental United States, facing Cuba across the sea, and is often called the United States' land's end. U.S. Highway 1 extends out over the water via dozens of bridges, linking the Keys to mainland Florida. One stretch, the Seven Mile Bridge, spans open sea with blue water on both sides, and the drive across it is often a highlight of the trip. Most of the island's sights are concentrated in the old town: Duval Street is lined with brightly painted wooden houses, galleries, bars, and shops; theHemingway Homestill houses the famous six-toed cats; Truman's Little White House, where he spent winters, is well preserved; and the southernmost point buoy at the island's southern tip is a highly photographed landmark that marks the distance to Cuba. Every evening, Mallory Square fills with street performers, craft vendors, and crowds who gather to watch the sunset, and the long-running sunset celebration has become an everyday island tradition. If you want to get out on the water, snorkeling and exploring the nearby living coral reefs are activities many visitors specifically plan for.Key West · 425m from downtown

Stepping into the courtyard, the eyes are full of green trees and flowers, which looks quiet and serene.

In Key West, Southern Most Point should be an iconic check-in point. Many people line up to take photos. It is only 90 miles from here to Cuba. The entire island chain is very Central and South American. I miss the sunshine and sea there so much.
I don’t know if I can go there again in my lifetime.

This beach was totally worth the sand in the car. Our time here was completely unplanned - we stopped on our way out of town. The kids said it was the best beach on the trip. Very clean, easy parking and perfect photo ops. We found a few cool shells and it wasn't crowded. There were rocks to climb on and the sand was super soft.

Roaming into the pizza shop, my little brother smiled shyly. His face was freckled with sunshine and sea breeze. The taste of pizza was not very impressive. The nails on the key lime shake and the wall that only returnees could leave were still fresh in my memory.

There are not many people on the beach, it's nice to enjoy the sea breeze and listen to music quietly.
