I’ve lived in many vacation areas if you want a shirt that says Key West go to the thrift store in Key West. People leave clothing items in hotel rooms all the time and it all goes to the thrift stores in that area.
Great tip. Also, this may have changed since online shopping have become more common, but those thrift shops like Salvation Army used to be loaded with name amd luxury brands sold on Duval street since there are not many clothing stores on the island.
I have found hundreds of dollars in brands with the tags on them such as Banana Republic, Hurley,Roxy, Volcom...etc.
Scam. It is not the most Southern most point in the Continental U.S
It's a island. Not part of the continent.
Also, when you go to the destination areas, go to thrift stores for beach umbrellas ⛱️ and shovels, buckets!
@@princesskimby if you up in a ski area you can buy north face all day long.
@@marniegrohs1553 Thanks! I’m about actually go up North for vacation soon!
Going to fort Jefferson and the dry tortugas is not a rip-off. It's probably one of the most impressive things to see in the state of Florida
Dear. Thidls guy in the video is obviously is trying to monetize from negative reviews, you can skip this video and go check a normal Key west blogs where people not looking for dumpsters and trash on purpose. Enjoy, I came here in 2014 for a Summer vacation/work and since then it's been a long hot summer and I love it
He's not saying it's a ripoff, he's saying at close to $200 it's a lot of money, since COVID the cost of visiting key west has become almost unbearable, the hotels that used to be reasonable has been bought up in mass by European companies, pay triple what it used to be several years ago, and then get hit with their "Resort" fees because they bought all the houses around. The last time for us was down around southern most point, it was jammed with people from Miami and the upper keys, and we had never seen a presence of Key west PD like that before
Try to go to Dry Tortuga on your own for $200 😁
It is beautiful. Snorkeling the moat is amazing. The ferry ride is great.
I have been to Key West many times and I absolutely love the Butterfly Conservancy and highly recommend it- when you open the door - hear the music and are surrounded by 100's of royal blue butterflies - it is just surreal!
It is just wonderful!!!!!
I agree we took our 5 year old but we were as amazed as she was 🙏
The rip-off is watching this entire video. Can I get my 12+ min back???
I read the captions along the timeline....saved myself 12 minutes! And this guy have 114k subs??
My wife and I went to KW a few years back. We found that renting bikes were the best way to get around the island. Also, some of the best food was where the locals said to go to. Although, Sloppy Joe's was pretty good, but crowded. The beaches were ok, not like the panhandle area of NW Florida. The Mel Fisher's gold shop was impressive. All in all, we had a good time in KW.
Wife and I flew into key West in October 2022 from Maryland and we talked to the locals and asked where they would go out to eat and they steered us to some great off the wall places to go! The Cuban food trucks were the best and had the best atmosphere at night for partying.(I enjoyed the pork tacos) We also drank and ate for next to nothing and hung out and partied with a lot of great local people. We saved the tourists stuff for the day and did Mallory square for the sunset and it had some great entertainers working for tips. Last night key West we decided to eat at Margaritaville and I ordered the cheeseburger in paradise and it was the worst burger in history for me. So talk to the locals and you will have a great time without breaking the bank. Great video.
Thanks for your input. Will you please share what places you went to specifically. We love to go where the locals go when we visit different places. Thanks!!

Thank you! @@boogiedownforever
Key West is awesome, if you like bars and walking around the historical areas. Otherwise, there are other keys that are a complete natural beauty. Cannot wait to go on vacation again there some day. Take mosquito spray!
It's a small place with accommodation limited by the size of the island - so you pay more, and if you don't, someone else will.
Oh stop, the size has nothing to do with it, but GREED has everything to do with it.
Key West makes so much 💵 everyday it ridiculous. The few people and business groups that own 90% of the island are greedy and worship money. Stop making excuses for evil. Key West could charge 1/2 of what they charge for everything and still make a huge profit in tourism. It’s amazing how regular people protect the wealthy.
We lived there in ‘72 ‘74 my daughter was born there husband was military and we lived in Sigsbee park. Right on the gulf I loved it,,,,
It was different then ! Not so many tourists! Easy parking, our biggest thrill was the flea market they had every 2 weeks!
Returned in 2005 and it was sad ! no longer could we see the beautiful colors of the water on the 7 mile bridge! They have planted trees and bushes and it was spooky driving back in the dark!
My house was gone ! Got flooded in a storm ! So they knocked down all the houses facing the water and planted more bushes and trees ! Saddened me !
It was an idyllic life, out on the water boating ! We didn’t have money to spare so made our own amusements , now so many people ! Big crowds everywhere ! I loved the Cuban beef hoagies ! Never had any better ! Also the Keno sandals great buy!
Every where in Florida and any touristy towns is a rip off !!
I didn't really see any scams on this video. Pretty much of all of these points apply to popular tourist coastal/beach areas. The same can be said for Long Island, Cape Cod, Jersey Shore, etc.
It was so different when we were there in 1995. We camped in Big Pine Key & drove back & forth to Key West when we felt like it. Although we did spend a few nights in a motel in KW. Not nearly as populated as now. We didn’t go to Hemingway’s house, which was ok but I hate that we missed the Shipwreck Museum’s We drove all the way down the west coast & visited all the beaches. Then drove through the Everglades (took an airboat ride) through Homestead then driving all down through the Keyes! It was breathtaking! We were gone 5 weeks & it was great! Only thing we didn’t think about was it was February when all the snowbirds were there!
Thank you for this video! My husband just surprised me with a romantic getaway to Key West, and this video was so helpful and full of information! 🙂
This video is OUTSTANDING! Thank you for the tips!
Ft. Jefferson and the Dry Tortugas were my favorite part of my Keys trip. We've been three times. First, we flew there and took the boat twice. The boat trip itself was fun.
If the speed limit says 45 on US1 Heading down cruise control it. A few miles over driving back home with a ticket
The speed limit in Big Pine Key is strictly enforced because of the endangered Key Deer - it's a National Wildlife Refuge. When I was police there anyone I stopped in that area for speeding was guaranteed a citation.
❤ LOVE this video!!! Thank you for sharing your insights on the Keys!!!!
Enjoyed your video. I haven't been down there in over 40 years. I know it's not the same as it was pre-1990's. It used to be a fun place to escape to and have some fun, now it's just a big boutique and has lost its charm.
Yes I grew up there. They definitely ruined it. Nothing like it use to be. Just a dam tourist takeover now. Overpriced crap. Pay to park. The list goes on. I remember two bait shops and a few restaurants. That's all. Now it's a retarded Disney world
So true!
Thank you for all the information! 🤙
Thx Guys . Very informative.
I love the sunset at Mallory square! I am a little corny though.
The Butterfly conservatory is definitely worth the money... the other one's, not so much !
If you want white sandy beaches in key west you have to take a trip to the sand bars
💯
Knew a guy who sold cars years ago. Back then he told me, "If the customer doesn't think they got ripped off, then they didn't get ripped off."
Thanks for great info😊😊
Great video! I do love Key West but haven't been there since the pandemic. We always drive there, and love the drive down, and stopping along the way to take in the scenery. We also take our bicycles and think that is the best way to get around. Watch the motels because now they are starting to charge for parking there! Forget parking along the streets. Most of them are marked "residents only." There is a decent multi-level parking garage on Grinnell and Caroline Streets that did not charge a ripoff price to park all day and night. If you have a handicap placard, parking anywhere in KW is free. July and August seem to be the stinky times when the seaweed washes in. As gross as it is, you kind of get used to it. Where they are standing and talking about it is one of the smelliest areas at that time of the year. About sales.. that's what sales are, they mark up the price to mark it down, everywhere. Why don't they just sell it for the right price to start with? There are some places off Duval Street where you can get some really nice tshirts for a good price. You don't have to get ripped off on food either. I think Harpoon Harrys is the best place to get a good meal in KW, followed by El Siboney. I am a big fan of the Dry Tortugas day trip. It's fun to stand outside on the trip over and back, to watch the flying fish, turtles, and to see the various shades of blue in the water. They serve a continental breakfast, and their lunch is delicious! If you have a national park senior pass, they knock $6 off the fee. You don't need to snorkel in order to see some awesome marine life. Just walk around the moat and look down. You can also walk on top of the fort and get some spectacular pictures but there are no rails or ropes to hold on to. In the summer it is crazy hot, and there isn't much shade there. The nightly sunset celebration at Mallory Square; I've seen it packed and not so crowded. Anything the vendors sell there has to be made in Key West. There is the typical street entertainment, guitar players, jugglers on unicycles, sword swallowers, a funny cat show, and others. It is changing though. Many of the regulars have left the island, but there are still absolutely breathtaking sunsets.
The so-called southernmost point is really just the southernmost point accessible by the public. There is a point of land that is further to the south but it is on military property.
maybe in 500 yrs the world wont need a military and the world people can walk among these ancient military bases in peace highly unlikely though
Dry tortugas NP is the best place for snorkeling and scuba diving. Unspoiled nature and away from light pollution if one is into camping. I encourage people to visit this national park or any national/ state parks and learn about history and conservation. The best value for your $190 via the Yankee Ferry, breakfast and lunch is served, and a free mask and snorkel rental(or about 185 if you have the NP pass) if you plan ahead. They only take about 140 visitors per day for the ferry ride. Taking the seaplane might be a rip off? Since it costs ~$600 RT, but it offers the best views and you arrive in about 45 min.
Although the ferry often encounters rough water between KY and the DT. Many time the ferry just becomes the 'puke boat from hell' with everyone seasick...
Thanks for the video. What about adventure tours like Fury Adventure Tours ? They are charging $198 for 6 hours.
Working downtown without a parking past was a nightmare! Thankfully, our office moved to Eaton street and we had our own parking lot.
I bet its a challenge. Especially during tourist season
This was filmed in summer and not in November some of the issues only happen in summer ie seaweed smell- Jay please correct from your loyal fan
Jay: “So if you see green key lime pie, run. That’s not real key lime pie.”
Me: “But…I like fake key lime pie…” 🥺😆
LOL disregard!
PEPE'S ! BEST KEY LIME PIE ! PERFECTION !
That is Sargasso, more seaweed than algae. In the Atlantic, there is a gyre that makes this stuff thick, and the probable cause of the "Bermuda Triangle" ship losses of the past. I have been here for 30 years and probably the worst year I have seen it, but it is every year. What is cool is that when it is at sea, it is an ecosystem. I have bought sea horses, fancy mini shrimp, turtles, and fish fry. I use to look for it to dive to get specimens for my fish tank. It was all the way up the coast and it dose stink!
I have been to Key West several times. The only rip off/scams I seen were fishing charters, where you pay for the boat, but then you are expected to pay large tips so the crew gets paid. I do agree with the shirts, cosmetics and art, total scams. Everything else is just expensive.
Every fishing charter you are expected to tip.
Don't pay the tip. Not your responsibility. The charter is ripping you off as soon as you sign up anyways. The people working on the boats are gangster who have homeboys robbing you while your fishing.
Hey slappy , you should buy your own boat so you don’t have to worry about it. I’m a mate on a charter boat and my only concern is making your trip worthwhile and keeping you safe and on the boat.
Tipping the crew on a fishing boat is standard. Always has been. Do you complain about tipping your bartender, barber, and hotel house cleaning too?!
They gotta make a living, captains are greedy fux.
You guys are wrong about Mallory Square sunsets. Great vibe, some of the street performers are really good, seek out The Cat Man.
Dominique, "The Cat Man", has retired. I'll miss him. He was the best, and had a prime location at Mallory Square for sunset.🐺🦊🐱🐈😁
I hope you're mistaken. I was hoping my grand daughters would get the chance to see him. Nothing lasts forever. Take your time , hurry up!@@brucestaples4510
I lived there for 3 years. Its over rated pal.
@@brooksd.cunningham8935 I lived in Big Pine for 5 years. Been going to the Lower Keys for 12 years. I stand by my comment , pal.
My wife and I enjoyed both the Hemingway home and the Butterfly sanctuary. We brought our own cash and didn’t have to use an ATM. The tourist shops along Duvall are just regular shops you have seen many times before. If you want a $50 t shirt then buy it. We stayed at the Hilton Hotel and utilized the hotel’s hourly transit bus ( drop off beside sloppy joes). Never had to pay for parking. I like cigars, and only saw what I call junk cigars being sold. Bring your own cigars. I did not see the cigar rollers in action.
Lots of cigar rollers in shops around Mallory Square, but they're more of a novelty item, or as you say, junk cigars. I love the butterfly sanctuary! Also, if you're into history, they have Truman's Little White House and for pirate lovers, Mel Fisher's Treasures is kinda neat. If you want a clean, quiet beach, Fort Zachary Taylor is it. Everything there is absolutely expensive!
The real cigar makers moved to Tampa about 100 years ago.
Ft Lauderdale has cigar shops with the rolling!
May I ask which Hilton Hotel? I'm booking a trip there soon.
@@networth00 Hello, my wife just told me it was the Double Tree Resort by Hilton Hotel Grand. If you look on Google Earth, this Hilton is very near and just North of the airport in Key West. We only spent one night there. Most of our time was spent walking around the city. I like walking. You can see most everything from the central location of Sloppy Joes Bar. The hotel shuttle is hourly and picks up and delivers from that central location. Some of the real locals I met recommended restaurants off the regular tourist area, for best value and excellent food. We were not in town long enough to discover these eateries. I believe the shuttle service ends at 11:00 pm. If you go with this hotel, please call ahead and make sure the shuttle service is still active. The driver had a “tip jar” by the door. Most everyone dropped some cash into it. The tip was not mandatory. Have an excellent trip!
For me, the best way to see the Keys is on a small sailboat -transportation and a place to stay. Did it a couple of times and it was pretty chill. However, it took some time.
Oh😮 when I went, I rented a Scooter to get around town from Conch Scooters! Nice deliver service guy!
Southern most point of the contiguous states. #4 is not a scam, rip-off or trap but a good PSA. 😁
What side do you recommend for off shore snorkeling?
Mallory square sunsets are priceless!!!!!! Whenever life gets heavy, i get on a plane and land in Lauderdale and take that beautiful ride through the keys. ALWAYS RENT A JEEP OR HIGH VEHICLE SO YOU CAN SEE OVER THE JERSEY BARRIERS. Take some side streets and pick up a cheap lawn chair to just randomly pull over and soak up the beauty. Hit "babys coffee" robys and all the other stops. Ive landed directly into key west however ive done the drive through the keys probably around 100 times. I prefer the ride. ✌️
Where do you stay in KW? I live in Fort Lauderdale and have never been to Key West. Considering it though.
@redheart3014 margeritaville is nice with the beach right across the street. Pool areas a little small and crowded. Fairly close to Duval but its a short car ride . Pier house is fantastic right on the water by all of the bars and shopping. The blue opal is also right where all the action is too. Try to squeeze in a sunset cruise also. If I'm traveling alone Theres quite a few airbnbs and I always stay in the one behind the"worlds smallest bar" I will be looking to buy somewhere around ft Lauderdale in about 15 months. I love south florida. Water taxi is pretty cool up into Las Olas. ✌️
I love the Action Kid cameo! :)
Butterfly conservancy is the absolute best.
Everyone knows key west is an island. A very popular island. Only a fool would expect you are going to have easily available parking. Just something for you to gripe about.
Walked into an art shop on Duvall St, looked at a nice statue that the owner insisted was from Spain. It was listed at $500, but I turned it sideways to get a better look. The stain on it wasn't even completly dry and tipping it over a bit I saw it was made in Mexico. Complete and total scam........ Dude probably bought it for $5 and threw a coat of stain to make it look expensive. Buyer beware!!!!!!
Sounds like the estate sale guy where Ben Mallah shops
Was just there 2 weeks ago and there was one spot with cops in cars every mile or so on the highway. There wasn’t many spots where you wouldn’t see cops waiting for speeders, lol. Also if you wanna save money stay on another Island like Marathon which is about a hour drive to Key West. If you leave early in the morning there’s a lot less traffic. We also visited Dry Tortugas, definitely worth checking out if you’re into history and National Parks.
Imagine that tourist being tourists in a tourist town. What a concept.
Exactly
Nice vid! You said hella. Must be from the bay. Hahah.
Caroline’s has the very best fish sandwich I’ve had in the US. Be sure to get it on the lunch menu. It’s delish
Loved this video! Been to KW and the dockside restaurants are amazing. (Half-shell, Meson De Pepe, etc...) The biggest rip-offs are the overpriced hotels. Well, the island is just one big tourist trap, once you are there, you'll find you'll pay whatever they feel like charging you, for whatever. For those driving to & "fro", be aware that the majority drink and drive there. It's a good thing to see lots if cops pulling over "doze" drivers.... Stay safe!
Pepe's Bloody Marys are the best
PEPE'S THE BEST KET LIME PIE ! BAR NONE !
Sounds about right! I'm from Central Florida myself and know once you're in the Last Lake/Leesburg area you're being ripped off every single time and day you go on the turnpike all the way down to Homestead/Miami area! It's absolutely a scammed up racket by the State! I still owe on tolls going back about 5 years, but whatever! That's just one of the many things there! New England has it's own in different ways! Anyway, I'll be heading back shortly in the area!
Wow, You owe tolls for 5 years? Are You proud of that? That says a lot about your character.
I went on this awful snorkeling trip in Key West. Still remember.
Really? Was coral bad?
Go snorkeling up at Looe Key Reef (the outfitters go out of Big Pine Key). It's a stunning reef...
@@hannahpumpkins4359 Which outfitter did you like (or dislike?)
Yes snorkling is a pain in the ass.
Thanks man ! I’m from Miami but never been
I go couple times I'm glad somebody say the truth thank you guys that's an awesome place but it's a little bit tricky
there's a shopping plaza away from the tourist district with a Denny's restaurant where you can shop at Winn Dixie and Ross and even camp in your car by the 24 hour Denny's restaurant
Ft Jefferson is so worth it. The 2 hour boat ride is awesome
One Duval Street shop sells polyester enjoy the sweat Hawaii shirts for $90 (!), and then the Israeli owner comes and schmoozes you up and says he’ll do you a really good deal and sell it to you for just $65 ! Buy your Hawaii shirt before your trip to Key West! Also the Publix supermarket has a machine to change your coins into banknotes … but charges a hefty fee.
If you can’t afford ATM fees, then KW probably isn’t your destination.
My bank refunds atm fees I am charged when I use atms not owned by my bank.
Watch out for the quicksand on several beaches.
Super helpful!! Thank you!
hope it helps for your next trip! Thanks for watching
Thank you Jaycation and AK for this highly informative video! Love it!❤️
Whats with all the abbreviations? What the hell is AK? Just spell it out.
I've lived here for 13 years. The reason it costs so much to park is because there is no place to park and most people come here to get drunk. That is why we have so many taxi's and Ubers. Leave your car at the hotel. There are no Chase ATM's here and Well's Fargo charges a higher transaction fee than most of the random ATM's, they just don't let you withdraw more than like 100 bucks. There are several shops that say everything is $5 and they are, it's something convenient like a beach towel or a T-shirt that you will use once and throw away. The fake cosmetic shops got shut down like 3 years ago by protestors. Hemingway house is awesome and I don't even know how to read. Butterfly museum was incredible, me and my date learned a lot and I highly recommend.
Southern most point in CONTINENTAL United States I think it said.
The parking is hard for sure. I just suck it up and pay the price. But as for the southernmost point. I took a picture BEHIND it by the fence because technically thats even more south lol Also Hemingway House is a must for book and cat lovers! worth the price and definitely do the tour! Plus the gardens are beautiful, especially if you have never seen tropical landscape. Just try and do this trip February-May. Rest of year is toooo hot
But there’s no bridge to Hawaii so accessible from the mainland by car it is the southernmost point
Thanks!
Dry tourtogas is worth it,same with hemmingway house
I agree with the parking high price parking it’s gotten worse over the years. Also, the beaches is all coral rocks. The southern most bouy isn’t located at most southern part of Florida.
The beach at Ft. Zachary Taylor is nice, but most tourists don't know about it.
@@hannahpumpkins4359 you are correct. Did you check out my recent v. and short ?
How is going to Dry Tortugas National Park a tourist trap? It's an amazing place to visit. The ferries are expensive. I would always recommend taking your own boat and staying for a week or so. it was even better before the ferry and seaplane went there. You would have the place all to yourself just about 90% of the time. You then talk about the key lime pie... what you show is not key lime pie!
Many people don't even leave their hotel until late in the morning. That is a much worse waste of time than standing in line at the Southern most point.
True story haha
If your a happy adventurous person with like minded people go to Key West before you die. Better to drive there. Plenty things to enjoy but it is a crazy place with some unusual people and chickens acting like they own the place.
......If YOU'RE a happy......but, if you are an illiterate fool ( like William, here ) learn English before you come down........
The roosters eat the palmetto bugs and scorpions. Yes, there are a TON of both in the Keys...
Great Video If you do more research you can get nice clothes reasonable Scooters are the best way
Jay! You go everywhere. What is a destination you haven't been to yet that you want to go to?
Still, nothing beats San Diego. San Diego is the most beautiful city in the country with the most beautiful people, in and out.
Would love to explore more of Asia! Like thailand and japan!
@@Jaycation Nice!. Hopefully you can.
Just landed ! watching this while i wait for my uber !
Thanks!
Have a fun time in Key West!
Thanks Jay 😊
Lol, I always get charged in the US if I withdraw money from an ATM (yes, I always carry cash)
ATMs r such a rip off sometimes my friend!
@@Jaycation I agree ☝️
@@Jaycation My bank refunds atm fees that I get charged when I use atms that are not owned by my bank.
Don't forget TIPS, that's the biggest rip off scam, you have to tip for everything.
You don't have to for everything, just tip for traditional stuff. Just because they have a stupid jar, doesnt mean you have to put money in it. I have seen cashiers have tip jars and the computer prompts you as well, im like fux u.
Thanks.
Dude I have the shirt @ActionKid is wearing 😂
It looks like old navyy
Take the Ferry from Marco Island, Naples, or Ft Myers.
I have taken a seaplane to Fort Jeff that's cheaper than the ferry. The drinking water in Key West is awful. It travels almost 200 miles from Biscayne aquifer through pipes and sometimes during emergencies they desalinate. Malory square I love the cat man.
Yup, stay well away from the tap water !
The real Hemmingway museum was the Compleate Angler in Bimini..sadly it burned down in 2006.
Nice Hella!
Don't worry, soon they will put up a toll from homestead stretch to key largo, they don't even have free boat ramps, and barely any you can rent
Good vid. I went to Key West on a cruise last Dec. Didn't need parking, hotel, or food. Not paying $190 for any excursion any where, or more than about 20 bucks for a t-shirt. I did wait in line to get a pic at the "southern most point". We had a good time.
Cause only SFranciscan saids Hella...i been to Key West. I had a lovely time. Beautiful place. I lost 10 lbs walking around. I didnt drive around. You better off taking lyft or uber. I believe i spend 150 for a week. 30 dollars a day....
One of the best cities to visit in FL and the US. It’s a very safe city, if the host doesn’t like it, he’s free to leave!
Hey brother
Another customer called me thanks to you, thank you so much. Pascal Ran taxi driver at French Riviera
Hello from Texas , I m planning a vacation to Key west and dry tortugas, do I need just to take my Driver's license with me? Do you have immigration check points?
Maybe if you look like an illegal immigrant, otherwise your good to go haha
Stellar video. Thank you for sharing this! I'm planning a trip here and this helps me out tremendously.
The keys in general are not great for beaches. They are great for all other water activities like diving, snorkeling, boating and fishing. The southernmost point marker is a victim of instagram. Never had lines 5+ years ago. Also, Publix has green key lime pie and it's delicious.
BEACHES ? ALL CREATED RECENTLY !
How long can it take to snap a dang picture? This new generation ruins everything.
Why in the world would you expect beaches ANYWHERE in the Florida Keys? Regardless of smell. Beaches don't exist here. Go up to Miami for those.
Miami is insane. South Beach is a mess and crime ridden now. Better off going to Hollywood Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. Way more tourist friendly (and family friendly) plus you have the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino close by for a day visit of gambling etc...
That Key Lime pie is all marange topping
Jay 10/10 on looking like a lost tourist 😂😅😂 but seriously great tips and tricks. So many rip offs in Key West.
Its the bucket Hat!
We have Wells Fargo ATM’s but where are the Chase Bank ATM’s?
Looking for a place to stay as well that is not as busy as others
Awesome job jay thumb up
Thanks brooooo
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! you divulged my hidden free parking spot in Key West!!! Cut it out!!!!
Lol, me too. I almost cried watching that.
Is this city any different than any other tourist destinations in the US?
I have been to Key West several times and in fact going again over Memorial day weekend! Too much fun! I don't wait in line to take a pic at the southernmost point in Key West..you can easily sneak a side shot in quickly.. Yes, make sure you have some cash or plan on using a debit/credit card for purchases which most every place accepts.. Mallory square is awesome..don't miss it! Plan on using Uber/Lyft or the free key West bus...which goes all the way around the island! Also, don't do the zoo...you will probably be disappointed....instead do the Fury glass bottom boat tour.. You will not be disappointed.. Well worth it! DO have breakfast/lunch at Blue Heaven Cafe.. You will not be dissapointed! Food is phenomenal..be prepared to wait though..but it is well worth it! DO go to Kermits and have breakfast...crepes and pancakes are the best!
Fort Jefferson. Its beautiful... me and wife went on a plane. The sitr was beautiful
Ohhh Sea Plane, Mr Money Bags over here lol.
Allegiant Air has best prices , I fly from Asheville NC to Key West for $44 sometimes a little more depends on Holidays. But I do know they jack it up for Fantasy Fest.$$$$$$
Thanks
