Key West, an island city located at the end of US Highway 1, is known for sunny days and breezy nights. Thanks to the proximity of the Gulf Stream in the Straits of Florida and the tempering effects of the Gulf of Mexico to the west and north, our average temperature in winter is only 14 degrees lower than in the summer. And daily variation throughout the year is only about 10 degrees! Abundant sunshine, and slightly less than 25% of the annual rainfall, grace the months of December through April.

Shop for a local artist's unique creation or simply a charming treasure from Key West's many one-of-a-kind boutiques and street-side traders. Thrill your taste buds with delights from countless restaurants, open-air cafes and world-famous watering holes.

Historical sites you won't want to miss include the Hemingway House, Lighthouse Museum, Audubon House and Truman's Little White House. Children will love the Key West Aquarium and Glass Bottom Boat cruises. Offshore lies the only living coral reef in North America with limitless opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and fishing.

And of course, sunset at Mallory Square -- a celebration all its own!
