Welcome
We hope to guide you in the right direction during your limited time in Key West. Use our itineraries as an outline and fill in the details as you explore the island! Key West is best explored on foot as much as possible. Food is such a personal thing that we will leave it off the itinerary schedules but we recommend Breakfast @ Pepe's Cafe or Croissants de France; Lunch @ Paradise Cafe or Sandy’s Cafe for a Cuban Mix sandwich and some coffee; Dinner @ Louie's Backyard, Alonzo's Oyster Bar, Blue Heaven or Seven Fish. Squeeze in some ice cream @ Flamingo Crossing. We also suggest walking by Sloppy Joe's, Rick's Bar, Capt Tony's Saloon & Hog's Breath to check out the music and let your ears guide you on your Duval Crawl. Finally catch a couple of sunsets, preferably one from Mallory Square and one at sea on a sunset cruise by The Fury or Sebago. Enjoy your vacation holiday!
