KeyWest is closer to Cuba than Miami!
When you stand at our Southernmost Point,
you are 90 miles from Cuba – and 150 miles
from Miami. Key West is a small island,
measuring 2 x 4 miles. The highest point in
Key West is Solares Hill at 18 feet above sea level.
We are located at confluence of the Atlantic
Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico and are
surrounded by incredibly beautiful waters.
Key West is the only city in the
continental USA to never have seen a frost!
The coldest ever recorded for Key West was
41ºf in 1981. Combine an annual average
high temperature of 83ºf and average
low temperature of 73ºf with wonderful
sea breezes, and this island can truly be
described as “paradise.”
There are more bars per capita in
Key West than anywhere in the country!
Key West really knows how to party!
But, we also have more churches per capita
than any city, so we also are able to slow
down and give thanks for the friendly,
welcoming and wonderful “One Human
Family” community we share together!
Something fun for everyone
... all year round!

WELCOME TO OUR ISLAND!
The southernmost spot in continental America,
Key West is a tropical blend of beautiful
waters, exotic foliage, wonderful restaurants
and lodging facilities, history-enriched
attractions and thrilling outdoor activities.
Visitors immediately enjoy the Caribbean
feel of this island nation called
“The Conch Republic.”
Since its founding in 1822, Key West
has gone through many phases, from
pirates to poets, and carries the creative
torch of such iconic former residents as
Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams.
You can view treasures from shipwrecks,
discover the haunts of your literary heroes,
marvel at the unique Caribbean architecture
and dazzling gardens that bloom
the entire year round.
From delicious cuisine to delightful shopping
to spectacular events, including sunsets and
sea adventures, Key West offers sun-drenched
hospitality and entertainment.
You’ll discover why President Harry S Truman,
while relaxing in his summer White House,
once wrote, “I’ve a notion to move the
capital to Key West and just stay.”
We are delighted to help you locate
the perfect lodging, dining, activites and
attractions to make your visit to Key West
absolutely unforgettable. Simply stop in our
Old Town office or contact us today.
