Insider Tips

  • Rent a bicycle or scooter — Key West is tiny and walkable, driving a car is more hassle than it's worth
  • Sunset at Mallory Square draws performers, artists, and crowds — arrive 45 minutes early for a good spot
  • Eat a real Key lime pie (yellow filling, not green) at Kermit's Key West Key Lime Shoppe
  • Snorkel or dive at Dry Tortugas National Park via ferry — a bucket-list day trip from the island
