Just got back from Key West and had such a great stay. The whole place is beautiful, super relaxed, and there’s something really nice about being able to walk around, grab food or drinks, and just be by the water.
Definitely one of those places that’s easy to settle into for a few days. Already looking forward to going back.
I have 3 overnight camping tickets to Dry Tortugas for September 1–2, 2026 that I’m unfortunately no longer able to use.
The reservation includes the Yankee Freedom ferry from Key West to Dry Tortugas on September 1, overnight camping, and the return ferry on September 2.
This trip is currently sold out.
Tickets were $255 each ($765 total for all three). Just looking to get back what I paid.
Message me if interested! Happy to provide reservation details/proof of purchase.

Me and my boyfriend are going to key west and are on a budget. What are some things you would recommend that are either free or affordable (activities, bars, places to eat, etc)
Thank you in advance for the recommendations!
We were thinking of taking a snorkeling charter in the next few days. We noticed that snorkeling from shore is not as good as it used to be because of all the sargassum. If we go on a charter to one of the sandbars will the snorkeling be much better, with clear water? Or will the water still be cloudy with sargassum? Thanks so much!
I stepped foot last week inside a library in the southernmost part of the country when I was on a family cruise.
It's a nice library with so many things to offer. This library is run by the wonderful staff.
I was walking around the cemetery yesterday and saw these graves of Liz and Anthony stacked together. I loved the portraits and wanted to know more about the people. No other details on any side of the grave other than first name.
Weather was great. Food was great. People were amazing! Love this place.
Fifth (or sixth?) time in Key West. I don't know, I lost count!
Never have seen wild racoon so close .
Okay so I love Key West and usually visit in summer, but I’ve always wanted to experience the big Halloween party experience people talk about. So without researching (yes I’m an idiot, I ADMIT I am stupid) I booked a hotel a few months ago thinking it would be fine for me and some friends. Now I just found out the actual big celebration is called Fantasy Fest and is the weekend BEFORE Halloween and apparently NOTHING happens on actual Halloween in Key West. Ugh. I screwed up. My friends already got plane tickets, and now I feel like I let them all down for suggesting it. I’m usually a VERY good traveler, I should never have assumed the big parties were on actual Halloween (but isn’t it kind of a Halloween party?). I also don’t live too far, up the peninsula a little bit so it’s a huge deal. But now… is it still worth even going? Is it going to be completely empty with nothing to do? I know we can still probably have fun, but we wanted to party and enjoy the season and now I feel like I’ve booked us in a ghost town for the holiday. So I’m asking my Key West experts- should we cancel or try to rebook last minute? Tips? Please forgive my idiocy.
This boat makes way! This was last night/this morning from fabulous Lani Kai resort recently recovered and reopened since hurricane Ian. My first time on the ferry smooth ride fast boat twin cummings diesels in each hull and the jet drives put out that rooster tail with key west in her wake. 3.5 hr boat ride 7 ish car ride home. Half prices in off-season both ship and hotel. Wish I could've stayed longer than 1 night
I'm heading down for New Year's, is there a way to get to Fort Jefferson (once I'm sober) for a day, cheaper than 250.00 and does not involve a kayak?
