Welcome to Key West Paradise
Key West is a very magical place. If you have visited here before,
you are probably still talking about your vacation here and have
some fond memories of a fabulous Key West sunset, walking down an
Old Town lane and smelling the jasmine, or singing along downtown
to a popular duo at one of the bars on Duval Street.
Or being amazed at the number of cats that inhabit the
"Hemingway House".
If you have never been here before, you are in for a real treat.
There is a Key West for every person. We have some of the finest
saltwater fishing here. Whether you are an avid fly fisherman
looking for the thrill of sight casting to tarpon as they cross a
beautiful sandy flat in the Key West backcountry, or offshore
doing some deep sea fishing and thinking about your fresh seafood
dinner at one of our fine Key West restaurants. Enjoy a relaxing
trip on a smaller charter to view dolphins in the wild or to kayak
in the backcountry off Key West.
SCUBA diving and snorkeling in Key West
Diving and snorkeling the coral reefs and wrecks around Key West
are spectacular. Tropical fish are abundant on the reefs and there
is snorkeling available on a sailing catamaran or schooner out to
the reef for a day of fun. Some of the dive boats here in Key West
also offer night dives so the nightlife on the reef may be
observed.

Key West Boating and Marinas
It is difficult to think that someone could watch the sun set on
the beautiful, serene waters surrounding Key West without wanting
to get closer. Whether for a ride to the tropical reefs offshore,
a sports fishing charter into the Straits of Florida or the Gulf
of Mexico, a daytime or sunset cruise aboard a catamaran or tall
ship, a nature tour of the backcountry flats, or an excursion to
Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas, this is the place to be. You
can privately charter your craft, join a small group, or sign on
with a large group ... whatever you choose. The waters around Key
West are beautiful. The romance and adventure of the seas are here
for the taking and sunsets are free for the viewing.
Places to Eat & Drink in Key West
No doubt about it, for a 2 by 4 mile island, Key West sure has
a lot going on with food and drinks. Last count was over 240
eating and drinking establishments and that was a few years ago.
One thing you can bank on while here in Key West, fresh local
seafood. Outside dining seems to be the favorite because those
restaurants come with a view. Some have a beautiful view of the
sunset, others have a view of Duval Street and downtown Key West,
which can get interesting the further into the evening you stay.
There are many restaurants off the beaten path. Ask a local where
to eat, everyone has a favorite place here or a place they would
love you to go try. Plenty of bars and drinking go on in Key West.
Find one that suits you and enjoy the surroundings. Some bars have
local bands and music almost all day and night, others have a calm
and quiet atmosphere with a tranquil view of the Atlantic Ocean.
