KEY WEST, FL: THE SOUTHERNMOST GEM OF AMERICA

Perched at the tip of the Florida Keys, Key West is a sun-drenched paradise where turquoise waters meet vibrant history. This island city, barely four miles long and two miles wide, exudes an eclectic charm with its pastel-hued conch houses, swaying palm trees, and bustling Duval Street. Once a haven for pirates, wreckers, and literary giants like Ernest Hemingway, Key West wears its storied past with pride. The iconic Southernmost Point Buoy marks the closest spot to Cuba, just 90 miles away, while the historic Mallory Square comes alive each evening with sunset celebrations, street performers, and the golden glow of the dipping sun.

Beyond its postcard-perfect beaches, Key West thrives as a cultural melting pot, blending Bahamian, Cuban, and American influences into its cuisine, architecture, and laid-back lifestyle. The island’s maritime heritage is preserved at the Key West Shipwreck Museum, while the Ernest Hemingway Home offers a glimpse into the writer’s adventurous life. From the lively bars serving potent rum runners to the serene beauty of Fort Zachary Taylor State Park, Key West is a place where history, hedonism, and natural beauty collide in the most enchanting way.
