Top Things to Do in Key West

The Sunset Watersports Party Cat - getting ready for our Key West sunset dinner cruise

Is there any better way to enjoy a fabulous Key West sunset than from the deck of a ship dancing to calypso music? It’s at the top of my list of fun things to do in Key West.

Always eager to enjoy a great Key West bar with awesome live music and fresh seafood, I head over to the Smokin’ Tuna Saloon. While it’s a bit tricky to locate, its well worth the hunt, for the music as well as the innovative food and premium drinks.

While its fun to experience the energy of Duval and Mallory Square in Key West, sometimes you just need a tranquil moment. Fortunately, the answer lies around the corner - the Audubon House & Tropical Gardens. Located at the intersection of Whitehead Street and Greene Street, the Audubon House is one of Key West's hidden treasures.

Some of my favorite things to do in Key West include watching our famous sunsets, snorkeling the living reef, dancing to reggae music and enjoying some Caribbean rum. Fury Water Adventures came up with the brilliant idea of combining these best Key West activities into one fun tour - their Rum & Reggae Snorkeling Trip.

Want to learn more about the Florida Key’s unique mangrove ecosystem and marine life? Then stop by the Key West Aquarium for a hands-on experience. A small, intimate aquarium, its easy to visit if you only have one day in Key West, or you can take your time, linger and enjoy the guided tours.

Snorkeling is a blast and easy to do in the calm tropical waters of the Florida Keys. A half day Key West snorkeling and sailing tour is one of our island’s top attractions and really shouldn’t be missed. The Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is the 3rd largest system in the world. Over 100 kinds of coral and over 500 species of fish are found in the sanctuary. For our snorkel tour, the Sebago Marquesa is sailing to an area of the reef conveniently located about 7 miles from Key West.

Looking for a fun attraction in Key West? Feeling stressed and in need of a karmic happy moment?  I have the answer - the Key West Butterfly & Nature Conservancy. Its a Florida Keys tropical paradise. Even buying the ticket is a cheerful event as the entry ticket is a blue butterfly sticker. So if you see someone with a butterfly sticker on their shoulder wandering around Duval Street, you know why they look so carefree and happy.
