    So love Key West!! My Man has renewed my interest in the Florida keys and key west. Went to Captain Tony’s saloon last week for Fantasy Fest sat right next to the tree in the bar not knowing the history enjoying a cold one. Looking forward to going back soon.

    I like the schooner wharf bar and enjoy Michael Mccloud’s music. Captain Tony’s for sure is on the list with the museum. Very cool place to explore, after all, drinking all day gets expensive 🌴🍻🎣.

    I lived in apt 3 over Top Florist on White St for years. 40 years ago ,when Mel Fisher and Jimmy Buffet lived there... not now with all the crowds and annoying tourists everywhere.

      Jimmy Buffett even wrote a song about captain Tony’s . White st. ( where captain tony’s is on) does draw the tourist crowd.

      How I wish. They are called Iguana’s and are not native to the keys, but likely introduced many years ago by visitors from central and south America. They now have become large in number and easy to spot when in the keys.

    Great place to visit, but it isn't what most would consider " family friendly ". Lots of history, and night life. Excellent eating if you talk to the locals. A number of excursions out for fishing or diving/ snorkeling. The locals aren't fond of the cruise ship port of call, so if that's you don't admit to being off the ship.

      No place really is anymore. I think how expensive everything has become there may be its downfall. After Hurricane Irma, everything skyrocketed. No more off season. They are even building up Boca Chica (just before you get to KW). This is where a lot of the workers lived. And now they are being forced out. We used to drive down a couple times a year, but no more.

      I do agree a lot of Key West is not family friendly, but when it comes to the ghost and gravestones guided tour, I do think that is something the family would enjoy. Sorry for the late reply, thanks for dropping in.

      @@bambirm27 the private island in the mooring field for one. It's authentic. All the free boats that are up for grabs, we fix them and sail them hard. The home made dock behind the grocery store where we meet up to shop and share a beer. The bars that give free drinks if you show them a kw drivers license. All kinds of things. Also where to avoid like Duval.

    • @TravGuideChannel

      You are correct that prices are high, part due to the remoteness from mainland and part because it is a popular tourist spot so can demand more. As for people being rude, Some can be. But the tourists I met usually were nice
