Never been to Key West?  Then you're in for something special.  No tropical island has a richer or more varied history.  Only two miles by four, it was once the home of the Cuban cigar industry, green turtle soup and the principal source for sponges. Key West was also the original headquarters of Pan Am Airways, a Union fortress town during the Civil War, and the home port of the battleship Maine, before she sank in Havana Harbor (triggering the Spanish-American War). Key West has been home to wreckers and smugglers, tycoons and hippies, writers and painters and gold-diggers and treasure hunters.

The Atocha, a fabled treasure ship, lies at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, almost within sight of Key West.  You can see silver ingots, casks of coins and emeralds from her hold at the Mel Fisher Museum.  Key West is full of marvelous adventures to explore including our "eyebrow" houses, found nowhere else in the world.   Or our fabulous nightlife, our gourmet restaurants, our electric shops, our tropical gardens, our coral reefs, our state parks, the deserted "back country" or our theatres. 

We can go on because we love it here.  You will too...
