If you’ve already spent time at cookie-cutter touristy beaches, Key West offers a stunning alternative. Even though it’s known for being the southernmost point of the United States (and has a cement buoy monument to commemorate it), this part of the Florida Keys is an island paradise for visitors. At only one mile wide, this city still boasts gorgeous coral reefs, beaches and plenty of opportunities for aquatic adventures like reef snorkeling, deep sea fishing, jet skiing, catamaran tours and much more.
