When you land
Things to do in Key West
Key West sits at the end of the Overseas Highway, closer to Havana than to Miami, and that distance is part of its appeal. The island runs on its own rhythm: conch houses and gingerbread trim in Old Town, sunset at Mallory Square, Duval Street's bars and galleries, and a literary history that includes Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams and Elizabeth Bishop. Tourism drives the economy, along with a Naval Air Station and a busy charter fishing and diving industry.
