A multitude of activities for everyone in the family makes Key West a wonderful place for anyone to travel to.

Things to Do in Key West

For pride’s sake, the first thing to do is check out the “Southernmost Point” buoy that marks Key West’s distinct location. After that, you can move on to attractions like the house of Ernest Hemingway or the Key West Aquarium on Mallory Square. Dry Tortugas Park has really cool marine life and for divers the Vandenberg Wreck is an underwater wonder. As with any Gulf of Mexico vacation destination, fishing and golfing activities are abundant! The location historically has been an important naval center, so for navy brats and Civil War buffs the Key West Naval Station and Fort Zachary Taylor State Park are the go to locations.
