Extras – Experience the Spirit of Key West

Key West is not just a stop on the map — it is a state of mind. A place where Caribbean rhythm, American history, and literary legacy blend beneath swaying palms and endless blue horizons.

Southernmost Point Buoy
Stand at the iconic marker just 90 miles from Cuba and feel the edge of the continental United States. It’s more than a landmark — it’s a symbol of how cultures, oceans, and stories converge.

Ernest Hemingway Home
Walk through the tropical gardens where Hemingway once wrote in quiet solitude. Inside, preserved furnishings and the island’s famous six-toed cats keep alive the creative spirit of Key West’s most celebrated resident.

Fort Zachary Taylor State Park & Beach
Where Civil War history meets crystal-clear waters. Swim, snorkel, or simply pause beneath the palms as ocean breezes carry echoes of centuries past.

Continue exploring the Truman Little White House, the Mel Fisher Treasure Museum, the Custom House Art Museum, or wander through the historic cemetery — each corner revealing another layer of island character.

Restaurants & Iconic Bars:
Savor island flavors at Blue Heaven, toast the sunset at Southernmost Beach Cafe, listen to live music at Sloppy Joe’s, or enjoy panoramic views from La Concha Hotel’s rooftop bar.

Key West is not something you simply visit — it’s something you feel.
