Florida the Beautiful: Key West


Cruise port.  Sunset Pier and Mallory Square

Mel Fisher Museum

Simonton Street Beach

Duval Street

Fort Zachary Taylor

and what in my opinion is the best beach in Key West,
Fort Zachary Taylor Beach

Trumann's House

Southernmost Point

Duval Pocket Street Park

Key West - Off the beaten path

KW Lighthouse

West Martello Fort ruins and gardens

Fort East Martello Museum

 African Burial Site & Higgs Beach

Key West Cemetery

And of course, a place that can only be visited from Key West:
Dry Tortugas

Eating tip:
My favorite Italian restaurant in KW is Onlywood Pizzeria (613-1/2 Duval St, Key West, FL 33040). 
It's kind of hidden in an inner courtyard called KeyLime Square located at the center of the block formed at the corner of Southard and Duval. but you can get to it taking the inner alleys that are half block from either street.

Best Coffee:
Cuban Coffee Queen, right across from ^^ Onlywood Pizzeria in KeyLime Square or at the other 2 locations at Margaret Street or Clinton Square Market.

Parking tip:
Parking near Duval street can get expensive. If you don't mind walking 3 extra blocks, for $15 a day (until 11 AM next day, with re-entry allowed as of August 2023) the best lot is the Southard Day Parking Lot (808  Southard St, Key West, FL 33040)
