Welcome to Key West

There is no doubt that Key West is one of the most unique places you will ever visit. Our tiny two by four mile island is dotted with historic homes, sandy beaches, quaint restaurants and local pubs. Beautiful water surrounds Key West where you will find great fishing on the flats and offshore as well as diving and snorkeling on our barrier reef. Key West is famous for it's sunsets too!

Only in Key West would the sun shine 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. As you enjoy these sights, you'll discover that modern Key West is a warm-hearted place where all are welcome. The city's vibrant Gay and Lesbian Community helped spearhead the island's economic and social revival in the 1980's.
