Key West
Key West is part of the Florida Keys archipelago. It’s Florida’s southernmost point, lying roughly 90 miles north of Cuba. Famed for its pastel-hued, conch-style houses, it’s a cruise-ship stop, and is also accessible from the mainland via the Overseas Highway. It’s known more for its coral reefs – destinations for diving and snorkeling – than for its beaches. (Source: Google)
What I like about Key West:
* The ambiance: laid back, artsy, contrarian
* Old Town’s architecture
* Sunsets at Mallory Pier
* The cemetery (some very cool gravestones)
* The Hemingway House
* The many cute and comfortable B&Bs
* The literary history of the island, generally
