Situated 240 kilometers (150 miles) from Miami, lies Key West, a 7-sq-mile island that feels like a beautiful tropical oasis; the land of the eternal vacation. With a ton to offer as a tourist destination, an average temperature of 79°F, 19th-century architecture, a laid-back lifestyle, tolerance of all peoples and animals (pets in restaurants, stray cats, dogs and even chickens at times), Key West is edgier than the other keys. The island a perfect destination for sunbathers, deep-sea fishermen, divers, and motorcyclists. Enjoy fresh seafood, watch the jugglers in Mallory Square and drown yourself in frozen drinks on Duval Street which buzzes with live music and wet t-shirt contests.
