The Keys to Fun and Sun in Key West 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Sun, sand, ocean breezes, and a cold drink in your hand. Key West is everything you'd imagine and more. I've lived on this tropical island paradise for much of my life and not even a hurricane will tear me away.

The Florida Keys may be in Florida but are not of Florida, connecte ...Read More d to the mainland by the 113 mile Overseas Highway. It's isolation is Key West's sole drawback, or its greatest asset, but I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be trapped then these 4.2 square miles of fun, relaxation, and a cast of local characters unlike anywhere else.

The weather is mild, balmy and warm, the sunshine broken only by the occasional thunderstorm. A rainy afternoon is the perfect time to hit up any of the festive bars and delicious restaurants lining world famous Duval Street. Whatever your interest, golf, shopping, swimming, or reading a book in a hammock, it's no more than 4 miles away on Key West. Read Less
