It is a known fact that Miami is one of the prime tourist destinations in the world. It may also be noted that a majority of the tourists who come to Miami make the trip from Miami to Key West as a mellifluous end to their vacation. Tourists can take the Miami to Key West shuttle, or other options of transportation from Miami to Key West.

Hot Spots

The beautiful island is home to a number of Key West attractions. A few of them that can be grouped into a Key West tour are listed below:

  • The Fantasy Festival: The Key West Tourist Development Association came up with the unique idea of this festival in 1979, so as to boost tourist inflow during the lean season of Halloween. It is a period which marks the end of the hurricane season on this island paradise. Over the decades, the festival has gained popularity and attracts more than 80,000 enthusiasts each year.

  • The Duval Street: This is one of most famous tourist attractions of Key West. The street is home to a number of shops, designer stores, nightclubs, restaurants, bars, etc. The place is also walking distance away from other excursions like snorkeling in Key West, the beaches, and the supreme list continues. Most of the hotels and inns in old town Key West are also situated close to Duval Street.

  • The Florida Keys Council of the Arts: It is the main cultural attraction of Monroe County. It covers the area from Key Largo to Key West. This non-profit organization supports the local arts and seminars, approves grants, takes care of the online cultural calendar of the region, and controls the Monroe County Art in Public Places plan. It also administers and manages the arts marketing grants of the county. Moreover, the council acts as the main campaigner of cultural tourism in south Florida and Key West.

  • The Secret Garden of Nancy Forrester: It is another island paradise within island city. The garden stretches through 1 acre of land. It is like a green, thriving rainforest. Visitors to this woodland garden will be enthralled by the marvelous wonders and artistry of nature that is enclosed in a small area.

  • The Key West Aquarium: This was one of the first attractions of Key West. It has been mesmerizing the tourists and locals alike for more than eight decades. The aquarium was primarily constructed to revive the American economy from the clutches of the Great Depression. It currently hosts millions of tourists from all parts of the globe. You will be able to check out the local marine life and also receive an intimate experience with the animals during activities in the Touch Tank, or during feeding sessions with turtles and sharks.

  • The Mel Fisher Maritime Museum: It is one of the most unique museums in the world. Tourists are able to see gold, silver, and other kinds of treasures that have been reclaimed by adventurers from various shipwrecks throughout the world. Do not miss it!
