A distinctly American town with the look and feel of the Caribbean. Key West unlocks myriad attractions. Ride the Conch Train to the famous sights: Ernest Hemingway's home, the Audubon House and the 'Little White House' where President Truman spent many a working vacation. Hop a catamaran to America's only living coral reef to snorkel with dolphins. Or climb into the open cockpit of a World War II biplane for an unforgettable aerial tour of the Keys.

The Florida Keys are a 120-mile string of tropical islands linked by bridges jetting down into the Caribbean from South Florida. The coastline is mainly rocky, so while not a great beach destination, they do provide a variety of other activities. In addition to world-famous fishing, activities include eco-tours, dolphin encounters, snorkeling and scuba diving on North America's only living coral barrier reef.
There are regular flights into Key West, the lowest point, via other Florida cities, and some people access the keys by driving from South Florida, which is only a few hours. Key West is known for spectacular sunsets, historic homes, nightlife and, of course, key lime pie!
