Learn more about Key West

Hemingway's ghost still haunts the bars where he once drank, while roosters strut through streets with more confidence than tourists. At Mallory Square, sunset becomes theater as fire-jugglers and troubadours compete for attention. The Southernmost Point buoy draws selfie-seekers, though locals know the actual southernmost spot lies elsewhere. Tour the author's six-toed-cat-filled home before cooling off with key lime pie that sparks debates about meringue versus whipped cream. Snorkel at Fort Zachary Taylor, then wander Duval Street where T-shirt shops give way to sophisticated galleries. The Truman Little White House reveals presidential history, while the nightly parade of characters proves that in Key West, being normal is the only real sin.
