Key West Day Trips

Day Trips

Balance your time in Key West with a side trip or two – there are several other Keys worth exploring and Miami is just a few hours away. The bottom line at this end of the line is that the spirit of Key West is all about letting go – of your worries, of your hang-ups, of your real life. If you don't have fun here, well, to paraphrase Jimmy Buffett, that's your own damn fault.

Smart Splurge    Great Value

Miami
Although a day trip can be rewarding, it's a bit of a haul to Miami, so consider spending at least two days. Check out the Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Little Havana neighborhoods while you’re there.

Dry Tortugas National Park
It will take some planning (and a catamaran) to get here, but the Dry Tortugas islands are worth the hassle for their reef-snorkeling, swimming, and bird-and-marine-life spotting opportunities.
