Just like us, well known people have also come to either settle down or vacation here during winter. A relaxed environment reflecting both the Caribbean and southern cultures combines in an inimitable mix to give this place its individuality.

This island paradise lies at the southerly tip of the US mainland. It lures over a million visitors to come and experiences its pleasurable environment each year. They all understand why President Harry Truman entertained the notion of moving the capital to Key West.

The islands of the Keys are located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The two water bodies have contrasting currents. The Gulf of Mexico is warmer and calmer than the ocean. The island offers a good opportunity for diving and viewing the many fish species near the only coral on the continent.

The island lies within the city of Key West which also covers the territory of close by islands. The historic district is situated in the first settlement area of older mansions and bungalows in the Old Town. Most are from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Some of the popular tourist destinations can be found here. These include Mallory Square, Duval Street, Fort Zachary Taylor and the Truman Annex.

Landfill built up the island to increase its size. There are four distinct regions. The distinctive regions are the Old Town area, Casa Marina, Mid Town and New Town areas. The New Town region is a more modern section. It has housing areas, schools, ball parks, retail centers, shopping malls and the airport.

There are plenty of things to do on land or on the water during your visit. Tourist haunts include shipwreck treasures, discovering the haunts of literary notables, viewing the Victorian architecture and lush gardens frequented by former visiting heads of state. Jet skiing, parasailing, sunset cruises, glass bottom boat tours and Dolphin watch tours are available year round. World class fishing can be enjoyed on both the shallow water flats and out at sea beyond the coral reef.
