There’s a reason the island has been immortalized in songs like Jimmy Buffet’s Tin Cup Chalice and Steve Tolliver’s Key West is the Best - there are a ton of great things to do in Key West, Florida. You can spend the day sunbathing or swimming on beaches like Smathers Beach and Fort Zachary Taylor Beach. Or tour one of the island’s historic landmarks like Ernest Hemingway’s home or the Harry S. Truman Little White House.
Of course, Key West is well-known for its selection of bars where you can relax with a good drink in hand. Go old school at Sloppy Joe’s, which has been around since the end of Prohibition, or try a newer spot like Hank’s Hair of the Dog Saloon or the Rum Bar. You can even tour one of the island’s rum distilleries if you want to learn more about how it’s made.
One of the best things to do in Key West, Florida is to take in the amazing views around the island. Climb the steps to the top of the Key West Lighthouse or take a boat tour around the island to get a different perspective. You can even combine some of these things and take a tour on a tiki boat, sipping a tropical cocktail while you take in the sights.
Key West is the southernmost point in the continental U.S. and you can get a picture with the marker at the spot that’s actually the furthest south. At that point, you’re only 90 miles away from Cuba.

@@johnstoddard7324 Great, KW needed less closed minded folks.
Hello ! Thanks for your video on Key West. I've been there some 10 to 12 times with my husband, we are in love with the USA and especially with Key West. We've always spent a long time at the Sloppy Joe's (among other places of course), and seen "Barry Cuda" or whatever his name, always being there performing on the Sloppy Joe's piano, I still have all of his CD's (yes, I know, I am old - young people no longer know what a CD is !!!). He used to welcome us with "La Marseillaise", because we are from France. I'm not sure he remembers...
I unfortunuatly don't think I"ll go to KW again, I am alone now (widow since 5 years). I am happy to say that KW has always been one of my favourite places in the world, and the same for my husband (and we did travel a lot throughout the world !)
All my love to that very special place which gave me so many unforgettable memories with my husband. Evelyne (France)
You're very much welcome. Also, thank you so much for sharing your life story. We do hope that you'll have the best of time. Be safe and stay positive 💕
Was there last week. Wonderful place. Absolutely love the island. Duval street all the way! 😁
Just got back after driving from San Antonio to KW And back. There 10 years ago in rental car from Miami to KW. The build up of the islands is incredible. The rent prices and real estate prices ridiculous.
Nice Video of my backyard!
Good video with great narration. Thanks!

Spent three wonderful days there in Feb '80 with my g/friend...we loved it...Sloppy Joe's didn't have all the multi colored lights...took a boat tour...recommend doing that...and buy the key lime pie...and buy a conch.
Thanks for the tip! Which city/location would you like us to cover next?
What about the Butterfly Museum? Fabulous place, and beautiful!
It looks like a chill place I'd like to swim on an island there one of these days 😎
🏝️
I spent twenty days in Key West and it’s an amazing place rented a scooter to get around all l needed actually had the best time of my life.
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing your life story. Any hidden spot you would like to share about Key West?

One of the best places I’ve been to. Quality place
Make it a big bucket, fill it with cash before you go. :)

Mel Fisher’s Treasure Museum; Kelly McGillis(Top Gun) used to have a restaurant there; The Smallest Bar; Irish Kevin’s. You also missed all the chickens in the streets and how about the Key Lime pie!
We loved Conch Republic (restaurant/bar).
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing these gems. Which city/location would you like us to cover next?
Schooner Wharf Bar, Greene Parrot, Pepes, and the Half Shell Raw Bar
I have been to Key West 2 times. I absolutely love it there. I only wish that the shopping was cheaper. I love to shop and I can not afford anything in the shops.
We're very happy to know that you love Key West. Any secret spot you can share? 😁
Yeah, I live in one of the most expensive places in Florida. My husband and his family are "Conchs" which is different from a local. Locals moved here from other places, Conchs are born and raised here with at least a generation or more of Key West settlers. I absolutely love it here and don't plan on moving anytime soon. Been coming here since I met my husband in 2004 and he brought to meet the family. We pay for peace! I wouldn't want it any other way. Just wish they would put either a skating rink or bowling alley at Searstown and the Kmart plaza. There is nothing for kids to do but plan to become alcoholics 😵💫
My childhood freckles came back here😂😂😂😂😂😂

Cool, unique, charming, quirky, repetitive, EXPENSIVE and the last place you want to be in a major hurricane. The good and the bad.
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Spending 9 weeks in the keys starting may first. You see we live in an RV so we're able to do that I love living in an RV and not living in the house
Was there for a week in May 22. The butterfly conservatory is well worth the price of admission. The aquarium is not.
There's two things to do in the Keys... Drink or Fish, and I don't fish much anymore.
I’m at key west righ now at the banyan
Looking to buy a small place near all the nightlife. Any suggestions? Where should I look?
I’m from Fort Lauderdale.
The best thing about key west is US1 north.
PR and US Virgib islands are also further south
They’re not states.
@@marisamoravec9809 Marisa, you're such a genius. Can I have your autograph
They weren’t talking about territories, they were talking about states lmaoooo
@@marisamoravec9809 The Southernmost Point in the Continental US is at the southernmost point of the US Virgin Islands. Since the North American CONTINENT includes the Caribbean Islands (including the US Virgin Islands), Key West is only the southernmost point of the Lower 48 contiguous states.
@@larrieuxroyale The US Virgin Islands and PR are located on an active plate boundary Between the North American and Carribean plates. They are Not part of the North American Continent. If you want to behave like a know it all you should know what you're talking about.
Don't forget fishing and biking
What museum has “Robert, the doll”?
Loll..I lived in key west on and off from 74 to 83. I know capt Tony.
Fun stuff, thank you for sharing this info. Which city/location would you like us to cover next?
You knew Capt. Tony.
Yeah,I knew captain tony..sorry
My friend, wife and I decided to walk from Mallory Square to the Southernmost point. Friend said it was 10 minutes but after walking 30 min. found out it was 10 min. drive time. Hailed a rented golf cart driver to get back. Several drinks later we decide to talk to him again.
Thank you so much for sharing your life story! When are you planning to walk back again there 😄
Y'all need to be open early on Duval ..women like to shop
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which city/location would you like us to cover next?
Doesn't "The Bull & Whistle' have another bar on top of it called 'Garden of Eden' where clothing is optional?
Yes they do
How can I get permission to use some of your footage in a video? I would like to use it as a background for a song I wrote about Key West.
You got the two beaches mixed up.
would November bee a good time to visit ? or is that to close to hurricane season ?
I'm here for this question too lol
It's a great time to visit! Great weather and rarely hurricanes come during November.
Visit florida anytime in the winter and spring.

No mention of Robert the Doll?
That was a fun adventure, going to that museum!
Island house
In 2014, I visited Key West. I was surprised by the number of people asking me if I liked Key Lime Pie. It turns out there is a shop called Kermit's Key Lime Pies. I replied Yes.
Fun stuff, thank you so much for sharing your life story! When are you going back to Key West?
@@OnViewCation That was my first trip to Florida in 37 years. It may be a while.

Yes I would love to go there
Key West is the best place to take your girlfriend get drunk and have a great time go to Mallory Square at night end up a sloppy joes and if you want some good food go to the Raw Bar but you got to watch out for people ripping you off and also the homeless are a real trouble now but if you're careful you'll have a great time and whatever you do don't fight with anybody especially the cops they always said you go down on vacation you come back on probation
