Key
West, the southernmost city in the continental
United States, is a tropical blend of
beautiful waters, exotic foliage, wonderful
restaurants and lodging facilities and
history-enriched attractions and activities.
Visitors immediately enjoy the Caribbean
feel of this island nation called the
Conch Republic.
Since its
founding in 1822, Key West has gone through
many phases,from pirates to poets, and
carries the creative torch of such former
residents as Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee
Williams.
Tourists
can view treasures from shipwrecks,
discover the haunts of their literary
heroes, and marvel at the unique
architecture and dazzling gardens that
bloom the entire year.
From
delicious cuisine to delightful shopping
to spectacular events, including sunsets
and sea adventures, Key West offers
sun-drenched hospitality and
entertainment.
You'll
discover why President Harry Truman,
relaxing in his "winter White
House", once wrote, "I've a
notion to move the capital to Key West
and just stay."
