All about Key West

Key West is a town that overflows with zest: turquoise waters and sandy beaches, dive bars that never seem to close, stunning sunsets, pastel-hued homes, great American literary legacies, and a sordid haunted past. Chow down on key lime pie and conch fritters, snap a pic at the southernmost point of the continental United States, and take in as much sea and sun as your eyes can handle.

Key West sits right across the Florida Strait from Cuba, and the influence can be felt in many of the island’s favorite haunts, where you can learn to dance the salsa, sample locally distilled rum, and pile your breakfast plate high with sweet fried plantains and savory beans. However you spend your days, make sure that you’re back in Mallory Square before sunset, when live music from restaurant patios and vendors’ stalls fills the pedestrian-only square and people celebrate the show-stopping sunset with all the fanfare it deserves.

What are the top things to do in Key West?

Ghost tours

Key West is rumored to be one of the most haunted cities in America, in juxtaposition with its sunny, good-time appearance. For fans of classic horror, be sure to ask about a famous local doll and the film franchise he inspired.

Key lime pie

Key lime pie can be found on just about any menu here, from dive bars to high-end bistros, and with good reason — the island’s eponymous pie is zesty, creamy, and delicious.

Try as many versions as you can while you’re here, and join in on the debate of cooked versus uncooked filling, graham cracker versus pie crust, and whipped cream versus meringue topping.
