Key West — Florida’s quirky southernmost city — offers a unique blend of Caribbean atmosphere, literary history, and laid-back island culture just 90 miles from Cuba. These travel guides explore both the famous attractions and lesser-known experiences that make this tropical outpost special. You’ll find practical information on visiting the Hemingway Home and Museum (complete with its famous six-toed cats), touring Harry Truman’s Little White House — the presidential retreat where crucial Cold War decisions were made — and understanding what makes Dry Tortugas National Park worth the boat journey beyond the main island.
Beyond the historical sites, Key West reveals its character through activities like rum-tasting — exploring how the US’s traditional home of rum went legal — and mangrove kayaking tours that showcase the area’s remarkable marine ecosystems. The Key West Shipwreck Treasure Museum brings the city’s salvaging history to life with engaging storytelling and genuine artefacts. Whether you’re interested in literary pilgrimages, natural beauty, presidential history, or simply soaking up the distinctive atmosphere of America’s most eccentric island city, these guides provide the ticket prices, opening hours, and insider advice that helps you plan a memorable visit. More Key West travel stories will be added soon.
