It is a pretty bumpy 2 hour ride 70 miles out to get to the island but it is well worth it. Since the establishment emphasizes education, there are many interactive exhibits on marine ecology. You will spend two hours of easy biking along flat Key West streets, during which Lloyd will take you to see practically everything has to offer and a bit more. You can read more about our day on the.

Splitting hairs if you ask me. Navy had established a base in Key West in 1823 and recognized the importance of building a lighthouse because of the many coral reefs and shallow waters around the island. We did get a chance to check out Casa Marina and it looks amazing. If we do we will update the post.

Key West Travel Guide

There is plenty to see and experience in Key West and, because the island is small, nothing is very far away from where you are staying. Of course there are beaches, most of them on the south side of the island. From the very busy Smathers Beach with its volleyball games and watersport concessions to the much quieter beach at Fort Zachary Taylor, you'll want to sample them all. There are also several parks on the island and, again, your choice will depend on what you want to do. From the 19th century Fort Zachary Taylor park and the gardens at West Martello Towers, to the ball fields and tennis courts at Bayview Park, and all the others in between, you are sure to find something to suit your chosen activity. Key West has much history and a number of museums to show for it. If you want to learn, a good place to start would be a ride on one of the tour trains or trolleys; the conductor will relate stories with local color to give you an idea of places you will want to revisit to learn more. A cruise out to the reef from Key West Harbor will show you the island's beauty from a different perspective and will introduce you to the wonders hidden beneath the waves. Key West's waters also provide great diving and snorkeling experiences for the more adventurous types. Those seeking less adventure may want to hitch a ride on one of the glass-bottom boats that can show you the reef without getting your feet wet. For the nature lover there are kayaking and eco-tours, with some featuring dolphin encounters. The Florida Keys is a fishing mecca and there are several private boats as well as party boats that can give you a great deep-sea fishing experience. Flats fishing is also extremely popular and backcountry guides abound. For the visitor that enjoys the cultural experience, there are movie theaters and live-performance theaters. Key West has always attracted artists and its many art galleries display local talent as well as national and international artists. And for the golf enthusiast, Key West has a public, 18-hole, 200-acre golf course that winds its way through beautiful tropical scenery. Facilities include a driving range, clubhouse and restaurant, and a pro shop.

It is luxurious and opulent yet cozy and inviting at the same time. Tours start every morning at 9:45 and leave from Moped Hospital on Truman Avenue. Easy and rewarding kayaking trips that explore offshore mangrove islands and seagrass habitat. They also offer a guided introduction tour of the museum if you are interested. We would also love to go back to camp on the island for 2 or 3 nights. Don't Just Visit Key West; relive it on the tour that has been showcasing Key West since 1980. It is a large open lot or else towards the water there are parking spots that are free as well. It is Key West, after all.
