14 Things to do in Key West, Florida

A great book to read about the wreckers of Key West is The Young Wrecker on the Florida Reef by Richard Meade Bache. It is a fictional story but is written by a famous explorer of the southeast US coastline whose family are like US royalty in the study of this area of the country. It was recommended by the wrecking museum and I would recommend it as well!

Question: If I rent out a scooter, where would I park my car where it wouldnt be expensive for parking?

I should’ve known that many sightseeing places about three years ago. Thank you for your hard work appreciated. Next vacation will be more memorable times.

I have spent a great deal of time vacationing in the Florida Keys and Key West. I always recommend that people ride the Conch Tour Train on their first visit because it takes you all over the island and gives a great overview of the history and what is available. I think the Key West Aquarium should not be missed also. The Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center is fantastic for anyone wanting to learn about the ecosystem that is the Florida Keys and it’s FREE (something rare in Key West). The Key West Wildlife Center is also low key but fun. Thanks for the excellent video!

The Green 🦜

I just discovered your site. It’s absolutely fantastic. You should have many, many more subscribers. Keep up with your great channel.

Next time try to add about the Mel Fisher Treause Museum, so good !

I am so thankful for having come across your video. My husband and I will be there in a few weeks and we will be referring back to your video along our route.
Side note: we just found out the tour to see Dry Tortugas is sold out 2 months in advance. So disappointing.

If you are there in 'the season' (wintertime) visit one of the many theaters. They put on some very high-quality productions, we've not been disappointed yet. For example, the Waterfront Playhouse right next to Mallory Square.

Blue Heaven has the best Key Lime Pie!!!

Great simply best 👍😊❤️ You're in video recording Belleza Natural y gracias for recommend Key West

The must beautiful KWest

It is flat there. Do they not have bicycles?

Don't try to visit Fort Jefferson if you don't have the money. Crazy expensive!

I am so glad you did all this, you covered a lot, but if you can check out ActionKid channel and go on the Duval St. walks with him.. I would love to live there if I were young.

kermits is my favorite place for key lime anything! I love the key lime pie slice dipped in chocolate and frozen! Heading back down again for another road trip. The drive itself is absolutely gorgeous!

Great video!

I've been to Key West three times, the last in 2013, via motorcycle when I was on a mission to 'bag' the 16 states I had never previously been in before....and did. I can now boast I've been in all 50 states.

Key West is fine and fair. If you've lost your mind, you'll find it there

Nice video and really goes well with your review of the ride to Key West from Miami. I'm driving it next week and your videos are helpful. Thanks!

Hi Mayor, Im still waiting for a response

Just watch were you park. i used to love the place until my most recent trip down there (5-14-22 thru 5-21-22) when I was taught a expensive lesson about parking. Yes, I had paid for public parking ($40.00 per day at the meter). i was just not aware of the, in my humble opinion, city sanctioned parking scams. Maybe Im wrong but the mayor or city manager have not responded to my email asking why this scam is allowed.

I see the house I stayed in on my last trip to KW. It’s the one next to Hemingway house and across from the lighthouse. I had tons of pictures from that trip but I ruined my phone and lost them all :(. I love that place!

So I have been here one whole day so far. The lighthouse is very cool. Not so tiring to go up and I have had health issues in the past. Going down made my legs shake a lot tho bc I’m tall and clumsy.

The Hemingway house was absolutely beautiful and worth the high entry cost. So many 5/6 toed cats 😸.

RENT SCOOTERS….. save your feet..

The Hemingway house would be great to see, kitty’s too

The cemetery. The grotto at st Mary’s White Street Pier. The Coast Guard Cutter for your 8 am wake up The Customs House. The Mel Fisher Museum Breakfast Club Happy Hour at Schooner Wharf (8-12 am) down in the Historic Seaport the Key West Brewery There’s plenty more. Did you see Fat Albert flying when you passed through Cudjoe? Only one left. The Bat Tower up on Sugarloaf was was blown down in Irma. You can have lunch on Giger Key at the end of the NAS Key West airstrip. The sound of freedom Up close and personal. Dive the Vandenberg take a wine and cheese Sunset Sail. Kayak the back country listen to an oral history at the KW library. Walk the grounds at The Gardens Hotel see the Botanical gardens at Ft Zac by the White St Pier or out on Stock Island visit the artists on the docks of Safe Harbor and Stock island …. You need to come back down island for a much closer look. You just missed Conch Republic Days we jus celebrated the 40th anniversary of our secession from the USA and our yearly battle with the coast guard. I believe we’re 0/40 ….growing old disgracefully ….. As we say we’re all here because we’re not all there

Another great video. What month were you there?

I went to the Dry Tortugas by boat. The beach is very nice, the tour interesting However, I was sea sick on the way over, and on the way back, it was rough because of a low in the area ( that is what the crew told us), many people became sea sick on the way back to key west. If you are sensitive to sea sickness, think twice

I've been driving from Pennsylvania to key west once a year every since 2014. I loved in ft Lauderdale for almost 2 years and was at key west may times when I lived in Florida. I'd love to retire there some day..

until i saw your video i was uncertain if i ever wanted to go but you gave a great video next time i am in that area i def want to go

you refer to it as a 'city'. not a city is it

Hyatt Centric for the week, during “covid” …… major W

Is the scooter parking free? Or just a reduced cost compared to other vehicles. Thanks for the great information though!

I was told of a fabulous Key West restaurant called Blue Heaven-did you and your dad try it?

You neglected to mention what happens when the cruise ships dock and six or seven thousand people flood the streets. WE stopped going to Key West because of the crowds and the loss of charm.

No Robert the doll?

Nice job on the video>. Key West is one of my favorite places to visit. Everyone feels welcome. Eaton Street Fish Market great lunch location! Croissants de France wins for best key lime pie!!

Damn, now I'm really inspired to go. Tfs

Kermit's Key Lime Pie is the best.

I'm planning to go to Key West in a week and a half. Is it as lively during this time of year?

Amazing video and info!! Loved how your dad was super into it too!

My home town. K dub

I love the key lime lager beer you find everywhere down there

I love Key West. But you dont need a video to tell you things to do there. Just walk around Duval street and the beach
theres so much to see and experience

Oh man I wish I had a dad

I went to Key West back in 2014 had the Key Lime Pie at Blue Heaven.

Its more like Key Largo, but the best Key Lime is at Midway Cafe & Coffee Bar

Great video, my wife and I are taking the drive from Miami in 3 weeks. Staying in Key West for the week so this video was a great help for her birthday week!
