Discover Key West
The southernmost city in the United States. Ernest Hemingway lived here and fished the waters of the Florida straights for the giant blue marlin. Festivals and parties accentuate the tourist season. Fishing tournaments and an art festival, world premiere plays, international power boat and yacht races and a lighted boat parade go on 365 days a year. Perhaps the most notable of these is the ten day event in October known as Fantasy Fest. An estimated fifty thousand people from around the globe descend upon the city to partake in a celebration not unlike Mardi Gras.
Or just stroll carelessly around Key West and visit any of the countless pubs, sidewalk cafes and first-class restaurants. See the historic seaport district, known to the locals as the Key West Bight. The Bight is a well known place to chart a day on the water. Key West is a very fun place and can be as relaxing, romantic, or wild as you want it to be.
There are accommodations in Key West for every type of traveler. There are plenty of extravagant guesthouses and inns. There are some excellent first class resorts as well. They are spread out around the island. The resorts offer vacation packages in some cases for families and for romantic getaways.
