The history of Key West is what makes the island so unique.

Higg’s Beach Park is not just another beautiful stretch of beach; it also holds many historical sites. Right off the beach is West Martello Tower, a Civil War fort, that is now home to the Key West Garden Club. Also, three African slave ships were brought to Key West in the 1860s. As many of the slaves did not survive, a memorial was built in the park, which is considered a local gem.

White Street Pier is another special park to visit. The wooden pier stretches out almost a quarter of a mile over the ocean. Watching a sunrise at White Street Pier is a colorful way to begin any day of the week; the sunsets are just as spectacular. It is the perfect place to take an evening stroll with the family.

Explore Old Town. You can go two blocks over from busy Duval Street and find yourself in a different world, reminiscent of the 19th century. Walk the winding lanes, see the hidden beauty of the gardens, trees and wildlife. Key West has centuries worth of history to be explored and there is nowhere else in Florida quite like it.

Fish is always in season. For all seafood lovers, there are three great local spots to eat fresh meals. On Key West, Conch Republic Seafood Company is a great place to enjoy a seaside meal. Here you get a feel for the history while savoring the seasonal entrees.

Close by on Stock Island, Hogfish Bar and Grill is where the locals come to eat. Get the Hogg Snapper, the delicious fish the restaurant is named after. The food is fresh and dining by the water is most relaxing.

Another popular seafood spot on Stock Island is the Rusty Anchor. All three of these restaurants cook up the best flavors that Key West has to offer.

When this fisherman is not out at sea, he is out golfing. The Key West Golf Club has well-groomed 18 hole course for the public to enjoy. With breathtaking views of the ocean and lush greens, there is no better place to take a break from work.

The Keys are comprised of more than 800 islands, of which Key West is only one of the biggest and best-known. At the Eco Discovery Center in Key West, visitors learn about the ecology of these treasured islands. The museum displays many exhibits ranging from the evolution of the Keys to the importance of the coral reef and other wildlife.

In Old Town, locals frequent the Key West Cemetery. It might sound morbid, but the history and the stories about the cemetery are fun to pass on to friends and family. No tours come through this cemetery adorned with mausoleums. Locals believe the grounds are haunted.

Valerie Square at sunset is an essential place to visit on Key West. As the sun sets over the North end of the island, street performers, fire jugglers and acrobats line the streets. There are even cats that can jump through hoops; it’s quite a sight. This carnival scene shows off the beauty and eccentric nature of the island.
