You are in for a real treat, welcome to Paradise!
- Key West Florida Keys U.S.A.
The laid back lifestyle, southern charm and Caribbean flavor are what make Key West what it is today. While some may enjoy a quaint bed and breakfast or guesthouse tucked away on an Old Town Key West lane, others love to be pampered and would enjoy one of the waterfront resorts and luxury hotels that dot the island.
Key West has plenty of things to do. World class fishing exists both on the shallow water flats and in the deep blue sea beyond the barrier coral reef. And plenty of other opportunities to get out on the water are available. Dolphin watch tours, jet skis, parasailing, glass bottom boat tours, and sunset cruises are available year round.
If you have visited Key West before, you are probably still talking about your vacation and have some fond memories of a fabulous Key West Vacation at one of the great Key West Hotels, or the memory of the fabulous Key West sunset, walking down an Old Town lane and smelling the jasmine, singing along downtown at one of the famous Key West bars on Duval Street.
Many visitors rent a bicycle and explore the history and architecture of Old Town Key West. Walking tours, including a tour of the unusual Key West Cemetery. The Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square is a daily spectacle for everyone. Boat excursions and tours provide a great way to view Key West and marine life from the water.
The Duval Street bar and restaurant district includes many different entertainment options, all within walking distance of each other.
