Key West suggestions?
- Thread starter nosey
- Start date
I grew up in the keys... I wish I was going with ya
First of all, rent scooters to get around. Parking is nutty, so a car wouldn't work, and Key West is too big to walk everywhere.
Take shorts and light shirts, and maybe a sweater for evening. We were there last Feb, and the temps were in the mid 70s. Don't bother with a lot of dressy stuff unless you just like to dress up - Key West is pretty casual.
As to where to eat or drink....gosh, where would I start? We went to a bunch of places - basically ate and drank our way up and down Duval.
There is a sunset celebration every evening at Mallory Square. You should plan to do that at least once while you're there because it really is incredible. Also they have entertainment and vendors in the Square, so get there early.

Happy Camper!
At Mallory Square you can get on a trolley that drives over the entire island with a little bit of history and commentary throw in by the driver - you can get off at several stops and stay as long as you want. Sloppy Joes Bar and Kermit’s for some key lime pie are a must just because they are landmarks.

Tavernier, mile marker 90
They were great to me.
Diving in Key West isn't as good as it is on up the Keys.

I wanted to do this, but never got around to it.
Seaplanes of Key West Florida
They fly you out at low altitude over the flats. You can see sharks, rays dolphins etc. and they give a little talk about the area. They drop you off at the Island fort and you can do what ever you want. Swim, snorkle, sunbathe, take a tour of the fort, etc.

Hogs Breath Saloon really does have a good burger. They also have a web cam so you can call your friends while they are at work and say "look at me!"

Fishing? In Key West? Who knew?
I don't fish. I'll be diving. And drinking.
When the fishing report says the Permit are hot! Probably March.

If you like or want to try cuban food, this place is great. Also, it isn't as touristy as one of the other well-known places like "Meson de Pepe". We met up with friends we know who live there, much more locals go there. We ended up closing the place down that night.
Also, maybe you're interested in signing up for one of the snorkeling runs. They take you out to the reef on a 70' catamaran, provide you all of the equipment, and give you beer or wine at no extra charge.
Like vrai said, definitely rent a scooter the whole time you're there. That's the only way to get around.
Have fun!

Just do the Duval crawl and you will be fine. There are a lot of really cool bars and Restaurants right there and you can just walk up and down the street. Have fun!
