Gaze at the fabled treasure of the galleon Atocha. Discover tomorrow's fine art treasures by Key West's well-known and unknown artists.
In Key West, you can visit these and a host of other attractions by taking advantage of convenient public transportation, taxis, pedi-cabs, tour trains, trolleys, bicycles or even your own two feet.
With its balmy weather and crystal blue skies, the
island is famous among the outdoors set for its diving, fishing,
watersports and golfing at the nearby Key West Golf Club, a
course designed by Rees Jones.
But only in Key West would the sun shine the brightest when it
sets. Everyone gathers for the never planned, always varied
Sunset Celebration on the Mallory Dock.
Once the sun is safely tucked away by jugglers, mimes, musicians
and street artists, the city moves to a different beat. A night
beat. The streets, filled with sidewalk cafes, open-air bars,
legendary pubs and world-class restaurants come alive. Gourmets
and gourmands alike treat their palates to island specialties.
Drama, musicals and comedy flourish on our stages.
New restaurants and stores are popping up in the historic Bahama
Village neighborhood, which was settled in the 19th Century by
Bahamian immigrants. Hemingway loved coming here to mix with the
hard-working locals at boxing matches and arm-wrestling
contests.
