Welcome To Key West, FL

Explore the Tropical Paradise of Key West, FL

The city of Key West spans the entire island of the same name and lies 129 miles from the coast of Miami on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. Juan Ponce de Leon was the first European to arrive and a Spanish fishing village was established here. The clear, blue waters, sandy beaches and tropical vegetation eventually transformed the community into a popular recreation area. Local points of interest include the Key West Aquarium, the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum and the Theater of the Sea, which features marine mammal shows and close encounters.

Things To Do

For a weekend each March, seafood lovers are welcome to enjoy a veritable feast during the Marathon Seafood Festival. The event serves a large selection of freshly caught and prepared fish and shellfish along with beverages. There is also live entertainment, children's games, an art show and hundreds of craft vendors.

At the end of May, all are welcome to experience the culture and legacy of local peoples during the annual weekend Cuban American Heritage Festival. The event features traditional foods and music along with a conga line and cigar dinner.

In July, the community commemorates a local angler during the annual Del Brown Permit Tournament. Using only a fly rod, the fishing enthusiast reportedly caught more than 500 fish. The fly-fishing tournament attracts anglers from around the world to compete in the event.

As Key West was a favorite home of the famous author, the city honors him during the annual Hemmingway Days, which spans a week in July. The event features a look-a-like contest, readings of his works, a "running of the bulls" activity and a three-day marlin fishing tournament.

The 10-day Key West Fantasy Fest is a combination Mardi Gras/cosplay event that attracts adult participants from around the world. A carnival-like atmosphere includes masquerade balls, costume competition and other activities that culminate in an extravagant parade.
