Key West Travel Tips
Known for warm beaches and eccentric residents with a live-in-the-moment
philosophy, Key West offers a relaxed yet unexpected seaside adventure.
Do as the residents (known as Conchs) do and see where that free spirit
might take you. Perhaps you'll end up at the aquarium, at a Duval Street bar, in a Mallory Square shop or even touring Ernest Hemingway's old home.
Why Go: For young couples seeking both beach and party
time, Key West is an obvious choice. Plus, the weather (and the
excitement) is incredible year-round. When you feel the island is
getting a bit too crowded, steal some alone-time by taking a boat ride
or camping on one of the nearby Keys. Area room rates can be high during
the winter and annual festivals, but you can find bargains if you look
hard.
Best Times to Visit Key West
The best time to visit Key West is between March and May. The winter
crowds will taper off, the hotel rates become reasonable, and the
weather is remarkably similar to winter's blissful 70s and 80s. Speaking
of winter -- that season is the island's busiest and priciest. The
rainy and humid summer months see the fewest tourists but the best hotel
rates. The trade-off might be worth it, but you are still gambling
against hurricane season (June to November). Also, beware that rates
will surge during special events like PrideFest Key West and Fantasy
Fest Carnival.
