It is real even if I just made it up. Every time I go it’s harder to leave. Stays have gotten longer and longer and mentally I never really leave. We are up to 2-3 months a year there, I really wish we could make this our permanent zip code.
We check out of our hotel at noon tomorrow. We have a couple of hours before our flight. Looking for a nice place to chill at for a while without getting sweaty. We don’t have a rental car, but I am planning to get one for half the day if we have no other options. The hotel is willing to store our bags till we leave to the airport.
Looks like we are going to accidentally be in KW for the beginning of fantasy fest week - probably Sunday - Wednesday (I do know this sounds like rage bait, it’s not). We’ll be with our two mid teens who probably won’t be too keen on massive crowds all day every day. Just wondered what the town is like if you stay away from Duval and get a hotel that’s a bit out of town? Will it be easy finding places for dinner for example? What’s it actually like in the day during the week? I’ve visited before and loved the laid back vibe….will that be impossible to find with this timing?
We’re flying into Miami for the week so theoretically could just avoid altogether but my husbands always wanted to visit!
Is this a thing? I am visiting the Keys with a fairly large group, and some people in the group really want to go snorkeling to see the coral reefs. Some people in the group don’t know how to swim however, so snorkeling is not an option. I was wondering if there are any companies that offer a “combination” tour where it’s a mix of touring/sightseeing from the boat (glass bottom maybe?…for non-swimmers) and snorkeling? So everyone can be together/be included while the people who want to snorkel can do so. So far from my research I’m only finding one or the other.
Hello Florida Keys experts! I'm planning a one-week trip to the Florida Keys for late March / first week of April 2027. My two teenage boys & hubs have dreamt of ocean fishing in the Keys. We will have a few days in Marathon @ Hawkes Cay Resort. I'd love any recommendations for where to say in Islamorada. I've looked at Cheeca Resort and Spa but wondering if it's worth the price tag?
Key considerations: We don't want a tired/outdated resort - so thinking 4-stars, want it to be on the beach with great pools and a spa (I will not be fishing with the guys). Thank you!
I’ve booked a parking spot at 1201 Simonton Street parking lot, through Parkopedia. After booking, it said I cannot park in a reserved bay. Does this mean I will still definitely have a spot when I arrive? Looking on Google, the parking lot isn’t manned by anyone, it’s done by cameras and number plate recognition, but I can’t see a barrier to let cars in or out. Does anybody have any idea about this particular lot? What have I paid for if it means the car park could get full before I arrive? I’m disabled (from the UK) so I need to have a reserved spot ideally. Thanks!
It was our vacation go to. Anyone remember the name? Or the skate shop further east on Duval?
Hello im looking for safe places to park my car so I can sleep the night in my car on the 3rd and the 4th of July?
Heading down end of July, we went there many years ago. Wife wants to go back. I don’t see it pop up in conversations when restaurants are being discussed
Hey everyone, I am coming down to Key West for the 4th of July. We aren’t super picky with what we like, and seafood is definitely towards the top of that list. I have heard red shoe and the hogfish are good. We are also looking at the moondog. What do yall in here think about these places and recommend for seafood on the island?
Tomorrow is my (M/36) birthday and my 6th birthday here! GF and I broke up a few months ago so ,Riding solo.
Got the reef and Rita’s , but I had to have another passenger for it to be free.
Was wondering if there are any other specials for your birthday. And I’ve always had key lime pie for my birthday, so I was wondering what yall think is the best pie in town. Thanks in advance
I was there mid-March and the beach was perfectly fine. I went there in May and the beach was a wreck. Tons of sea grass that looks like it had been raked to one side by a big machine. The beach was tore up and not worth laying out or trying to go in the water. But I'm coming to Key West on Wednesday and I'm looking to find the condition of the beach before I bring all my stuff to go there. I'm looking on the earthcams but I can't get a good shot. Thank you.
Hey it’s a long shot I didn’t really even know Dry Tortugas was a thing until today but everywhere is booked and I can’t get tickets. If anyone would like to sell 2 tickets if they can’t make it it’d be pretty awesome.
Thanks in advance 😅
