Starting Point: Duval Street - goo.gl/maps/J92ouVGPJLv .
Key West is a city in and the county seat of Monroe County, Florida, United States. The city encompasses the island of Key West, the part of Stock Island north of U.S. 1 (the Overseas Highway) (east), Sigsbee Park (north, originally known as Dredgers Key), Fleming Key (north), and Sunset Key (west, originally known as Tank Island). Both Fleming Key and Sigsbee Park are part of Naval Air Station Key West and are inaccessible by civilians. Key West is the county seat of Monroe County.[3] Key West is the southernmost city in the Continental United States. It also contains the southern terminus of U.S. 1, State Road A1A, the East Coast Greenway and, before 1935, the Florida East Coast Railway.
Key West is 129 miles (208 km) southwest (229.9 degrees) of Miami, Florida,[4] (about 160 miles (260 km) by car) and 106 miles (171 km) north-northeast (21.2 degrees) of Havana, Cuba.[5] Cuba, at its closest point, is 94 statute miles (151 km) south.[6] Key West is a seaport destination for many passenger cruise ships.[7] The Key West International Airport provides airline service. Hotels and guest houses are available for lodging. Naval Air Station Key West is an important year round training site for naval aviation due to the superb weather conditions. It is also a reason the city was chosen as the Winter White House of President Harry S. Truman. The central business district primarily comprises Duval Street, and includes much of the northwest corner of the island along Whitehead, Simonton, Front, Greene, Caroline, and Eaton Streets and Truman Avenue. The official city motto is "One Human Family."
Points of interest
One of the biggest attractions on the island is a concrete replica of a buoy at the corner of South and Whitehead Streets that claims to be the southernmost point in the contiguous United States (see Extreme Points). Erected in 1983, the famous brightly painted and labeled "SOUTHERNMOST POINT CONTINENTAL U.S.A.", it is one of the most visited and photographed attractions in Key West.[44]
However, the marker is not located at the southernmost point in the continental United States, as discussed below:
Whitehead Spit, on the Truman Annex property just west of the buoy, is the true southernmost point, but it has no marker since it is U.S. Navy land and cannot be entered by civilian tourists.
The private yards directly to the east of the buoy and the beach areas of Truman Annex and Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park also lie farther south than the buoy.
The farthest-south location that the public can visit is the seaward end of the White Street Pier.
Florida's, and by extension the continental United States', true physically southernmost point is Ballast Key, a private island owned by David W. Wolkowsky, a wealthy developer, about 10 miles (16 km) west of Key West. Although Ballast Key is located within both the Key West National Wildlife Refuge and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, signs on the island strictly prohibit unauthorized visitors.
The claim "90 Miles to Cuba" on the monument is close to correct, Cuba at its closest point has been measured at 94 statute miles (151 km) from Key West.
The original Key West settlement on the western part of the island is called "Old Town" and comprises the Key West Historic District. It includes the major tourist destinations of the island, including Mallory Square, Duval Street, the Truman Annex and Fort Zachary Taylor. It is where are found the classic bungalows and guest mansions.

If it's not too much trouble, perhaps point out significant land marks or notable buildings/sites or points of interest.
Best videos bro ...i like ur videos bcos they are natural without any background music playing ...it really feels like am driving d vehicle through which u r shooting 😍😍😍😉👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻
Hey I need advice asap. We are staying in midtown keywest and plan on doing a couple excursions and Duval a few times. Duval is like 2.5 miles away. Everyone is saying to walk or rent a bike but renting a car is cheaper than a bike or gold cart and especially the trolley. Really seems like a 40 dollar a day car rental is smart
I'd like to see a video of the residential neighborhoods in Key West. By far more interesting.
Florida's beautiful.
I'm U.S. citizen now.
And it feels good to be American.
I have a big smile on my face right now. 😁
This is the first time I have ever seen your videos. They are far superior than others. No annoying radio stations playing (someone else made that comment and I have to agree). Videos are so clear and crisp.
Gracias sus videos son hermosos saludos de perú
This brings bag memories. My wife and I went for a week there all the way from the uk a couple of years ago. Crazy, but did we fall in love with the place!
We had a wonderful time, spoke (and drank), with loads of people.
We will be back, oh yes-we will be back.
This place seems so peaceful and revitalizing! Wandering away from the skyline of metropolitans to such places is what makes us forget of sorrows and stress. As always, good work J Utah! Love your videos, hope you'll do some in Wyoming or Montana, too relaxing natural spots on there! Love from India.
these vids are also great for white noise, whenever i have to concentrate i just put one these on in the background and get to work
I was living in Vancouver for 18 years. There's too much racism in Vancouver.......so I decided to move.
Now I live in Florida.......and i'm finally happy. 😁
wait isn’t vancouver diverse? thought it’d be the other way around lol
@@jonathanxiong3741 exactly LMMFAO he thinks that until he lives anywhere in America long enough it takes just about a few months until reality hits/strikes
@@jonathanxiong3741 that’s because ppl stereotype the south as racist.
@@hakabasksa7331 what do you mean? Where in America do you live that this is true?
so beautiful, i love central and south florida
Blimey I’ve never seen it so quiet ! Been here a few times from uk it’s a fab place busy but in a nice relaxed way.
Take a ride on the wiggly train it’s fab fun and interesting . Mallory square is also a must to watch the sun go down , I also loved the aquarium and the harbour the food is pretty decent where ever we ate thanks for the vid can’t wait to come back again now have some great memories here 👍🙏
Love this video! I'm down there at least once a year and walk all these streets. Fort Zachery park is one of my favorite places. Thank you for sharing. You hit the nail on the head when you said driving north out of there is a sad drive. Thanks again for sharing the video.
I enjoyed the ride. A visit to Key West is on my bucket list.
I am Muhammad from Egypt. I wish recovery to all those infected with Corona virus in the United States of America. May God make you always happy. Greetings to your great people.
This is the best driving tour i have ever seen! Perfect! Thank you !
Beautiful! I need to get out there one of these days
It is - Highly recommend!
Thank you! I visited Key West in March 2014. It was amazing! It's nostalgy now ))
Nice video! I just visited Key West as well and enjoyed driving there.
Apparently like Indonesia or Malaysia
greatly appreciate this video!
Excellent! thanks for share it.
Reminds me of Bali but cleaner 💯 love your video btw 👍🏽
Magical Mystery Tour :)
It's such a vibrant place with various designs. Some parts look like the French Quarters of New Orleans. Some parts look like somewhere else. It's like a person with multiple personalities.
Wow, very narrow roads, barely enough to not hit on-coming and parked cars. Driving there on a busy day must be a challenge.
Ever drove a bus through Vancouver's narrow ass lanes?
Lol I hope you'll never have to drive in Europe...
Excellent!!
Thanks :)
this is amazing, makes me feel like i'm there... no place on earth like key west
Good to Remember.1965 to 2000!
Omg my dream place to visit. Best regards from philippines. 🇺🇸
Emas Esmero i have vistited there 3 years ago,its great place
That was great😊. I hope i can visit that place someday.
@Robert Rodgers What kind of jobs are in Key West anyway? (apart from tourism)

I Love Key West !!!
Какой уютный город, я бы хотела здесь жить. Спасибо за видео.
Eu moraria nessa cidade com o maior prazer ... parabéns pelo vídeo
J Utah: Being so well traveled, what is your favorite destination, or places you've enjoyed most?
i have this curiosity too
Isso que é cidade boa de viver, diferente dessas coisa que tem la no Brasil ... Parabéns pelo vídeo
Pois é, não tem ladrão,mendigo camelôs,assassinatos ,ruas e calçadas perfeitas sem buraco
I'm crying ... How fucking awesome there. Sakhalin (like Newfauland, only in Russia). Rains, snows, frosts 30 days of sun a year.
Better if possible to walk the streets of Key West. I'm glad I didn't have a car while I was there ... parking is limited and expensive. Also, the streets are narrow. Keep in mind that there is tons more traffic & people during peak season! Also, when cruise ships dock, the island (Old Town), is flooded with people. Key West does have a special charm all its own. I enjoyed the Butterfly Museum and the Key Lime Pie shop!
Love USA
Wow, this is nice. It's very walkable downtown. Isn't this similar to Provincetown?
Good Tour, thank you, now I don’t have to go and risk Covid
What a sad statement
I'll be there in a month!
Key West looks like New Orleans
"Only" without the endless potholes, litter, derelict bungalows and sky high crime rates.
Nah not even close
Wow, haven't been back since '94 when our cruise ship docked there on the way to Puerto Vallarta. Went to the Hemingway House (all those cats!) and some outdoor breakfast place where a rooster walked the floor. Great.
Its a fantastic place! Roosters everywhere! Thanks for sharing :)
Blue Heaven?
Muy lindo Florida, pero porque las calles son tan húmedas ,?
Nice
The real and only Imperium the U.S.A.!
Is this Rich L? I knew someone who went by J Utah a while back.(F22, Ops Flashpoint, Falcon)

I had orders to track satellites here while in USN
Kinda looks like some parts of GA

If only they buried the power lines, kind of ruins everything.
small price to pay for the convenience of electricity unless you want to go back to the dark ages with candles and coals? Seems a little superficial of you to say it ruins the sight lines.
He didn't say "get rid" of the power lines. He said to bury them.
Fester, people STILL have electricity when the power lines are buried.
Lorri Lewis how can anybody be that stupid?.......
i lived there for 10 years and one thing is a constant, underneath is coral not soil, it would cost millions to put them underground..
L.good.foi.fine.l.love

Kanye west
PRES TRUMP IS A BILLIONAIRE LIKE ME BUT HE GIVES THIS PLACE A GOOD NAME BY COMING HERE OFTEN SO THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING ABOUT THE PLACE THAT IS VERY APPEALING AND LUXURIOUS!
Really ? What the hell was the purpose of this Video, 10 min of my life that I can never get back.
This crap is like watching paint dry; BORING!
Florida's beautiful.
I'm a U.S citizen now.
And it feels good to be American.
I have a big smile on my face right now. 😁
