Everything moves slowly in the Florida keys including the ice in your glass.? I am a type A person and need to go, go, go. I would never survive just sittin in a beach chair watching the world go by but it seems like a lot of folks do.
Key West is known as the “Winter White House”. It has been a favorite spot for visiting U.S. presidents, and the island has been home to literary favorites like Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams.
We love to snorkel and it's a diving paradise too. Get out to the reefs,.This is where the best snorkeling is. We've always wanted to swim with the dolphins but we've never had them come near us. If you want to do this you'll have to got to Discover Cove at Sea World in Orlando or find a tour that can accommodate. There are several places in the Keys to do this too. The water have so so many beautiful species of fish and we saw such great expansions of coral just off shore.
This is such a beautiful little village lined with vacation cottages with gingerbread cutouts to define each as an individual piece of art. There were tiny shops around every corner. for those with shopping fever. Definitely worth the drive. It's 7 hour drive from Miami and the speed limit is 35-55 MPH so it takes time to go through each small town on the way. Oh an the trip wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Southern most point in the continental U.S.
If you don't want to take the drive you can also take the ferry from Ft. Myers Beach that departs at 8:30 am and arrives in Key West at 12:30 pm. Definitely put it on your bucket list.
