Key
West is a place where people escape from the
rat race to join the race for the freest, the "funnest" and
the most flamboyant. What other place has more bars — along
with more churches — per capita than anywhere
else in the country?
If
you prefer a more solitary vacation, you can spend
your days dozing in a hammock between two palms, and
your nights listening to the gentle hum of insects
and the far-away beat of a reggae band. Or, if you're
like most visitors, you'll take it easy during the
day, enjoying the beach or Key West's shops and attractions,
and spend your nights partying in its bars and nightclubs,
most of which are clustered along the main strip of
Duval Street.
Whatever your choice, you'll find Key West is
an island that never stops. Sunset in Key West is more
than a time of day; it's a happening — a special
time when hundreds of people gather on the docks at Mallory
Square along with musicians, entertainers and vendors.
Key
West, the southernmost point of the United States, embraces
a fascinating mix of history, eccentricity and lush island
charm. Civil War era forts, famous writer's homes, sidewalk
cafés, and outrageous folks all add to the atmosphere
of life on island time. |
