    As someone who was born in Key West I take great offense that you say that none of our beaches are great and that snorkeling is not something unique in Key West!!
    (I'm joking) But if you ever do come to Key West check out Fort Zach Beach (it's one of the best on the island). Or for a afternoon dip try out Simonton Beach and maybe get a drink at Loggerhead bar which is on this little beach.

    Butterfly world is a nice place to visit. The light house for great pictures. Ive also found the trolley or conch train is a excellent guided tour for first time visitors, as well as acting like a taxi. Theres so much to do in key west i go every year and theres alot i still haven't done. Love your videos robert keep up the good work.

    @inlovewiththeweasleys Před 5 lety +1

    As a Floridian I went on a field trip to the keys it was such an amazing experience as you can go jet skiing/paddle boarding/canoeing and take some tours, visit restaurants and walk around the streets(although a bit crowded) to look at some historic places or shops/cafes. The most Ive walked from a hotel to the Cuban milage thing is about 15-20 minutes Im also cuban so it was pretty cool that Cuba was such a short mileage away :3 The keys are very nice place to visit especially key west and marathon

  • @Zed1987X
    @Zed1987X Před 6 lety

  • @roccocorizzo5022
    @roccocorizzo5022 Před 6 lety +4

    Top 10 are easily 1. Fishing 2. Water Sports/Adventures 3. Sunset Keys beaches 4. Duval st. 5. Feed the tarpon and other fish in the crystal clear water 6. Watch the Catman. 7. Buy Key Lime Pie 8. Reef tour on the glass bottom boat 9. Visit historical spots 10. just take it all in (you did get a lot of them though)

    Hi,Robert 👍🏻👊🏻
    Awesome top 10 list of Key West !!!! My bucket list content would be to start in Key Largo then Marathon and then explore the Keys all the way to Key West. I have two kayaks just waiting to get in the Beautiful clear ocean of the Keys do some snorkeling maybe try to snuba diving at one of the local dive shops exploring the reefs. I’m hungry for some delicious seafood and visit hopefully most of the places you mentioned in your top 10. Robert thanks for sharing !!!! I’m looking forward to your trip to the RV show, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Danny

  • @thejasonofalltrades
    @thejasonofalltrades Před 6 lety +2

I can't wait before the journey down to key West. I'm so excited we might actually stay a day early in homestead just to enjoy the drive down to key West. I'm even going to try spear fishing! Maybe we'll run into each other there that be awesome.

  • @5avan10
    @5avan10 Před 6 lety +1

    The only one of these I haven't done yet is Dry Tortugas; I want to overnight camp but you need to reserve way ahead of time. Other things that are worth doing are the butterfly conservatory (not in the top ten things to do there, but still pretty cool), the shipwreck museum, the Audubon House (an amazing garden too) and of course the old sponge market (gotta get those souvenirs), and even though it's really touristy take the trolley bus tour. You'll get to learn a lot about Key West that way. And if you're going down there, hit some of the places along the middle-lower keys too! Theater of the Sea, and Bahia Honda State Park (although they may not be all that I remember them as since the hurricane hit).

    Peppers of Key West free hot sauce tasting bar. BYOBeer and spend and enjoyable hour or two of great conversation and incredible sauces. It's a must every time I land in Key West. Also, I never miss happy hour at the Conch Republic open air restaurant/bar overlooking the Key West Bight marina. And across the street, a frozen chocolate dipped key lime pie slice on a stick at Kermit's.

      Traveling Robert. Gracias por contestarme. sabemos que es una ciudad dura. En los ultimos 5 años hemos visto como el tráfico de la ciudad ha crecido como loco. Y en mi humilde opinión es una ciudad que ya no aguanta mas la llegada de mas gente. Y mis paisanos (venezolanos) estan llegando sin parara. El Doral es un caos de transito y precios locos. Pero con todo y eso anhelo sus playas su clima y la variedad de comida venezolana y cubana. Ahora tienes a toda mi familia viendo tus videos. Espero te podamos conocer en nuestro proximo viaje a Miami o si viajas por los lados de Denver. De nuevo gracias por mostrar todo lo bello e interesante que tiene este país. PD. No dejes de hablar un poco de español en tus videos para recordar nuestras raíces. Mil gracias.

    • @TravelingRobert
      @TravelingRobert  Před 6 lety

      In the summer it is very hot and humid and it can rain nearly every afternoon. In winter very pleasant, and dryer, but then the water might a little too cold for swimming. Short answer, probably the shoulder season. You can also time it to see (or avoid) one of the festivals.

    • @ShortShortTrailer
      @ShortShortTrailer Před 6 lety

      Thanks! Have only been to Florida twice, once in June, just to board a ship.... yikes it was hot! Then in March and it was warm, but not too bad! Sorry to be dense, but what is the "shoulder" season? I would assume either side of tourist season, but not sure when that would be?!
