Key West Getting HereThe Florida Keys, as most people know, is Key West ~ the Southernmost Point in the Continental States. Well, it is that, and a whole lot more. The three and a half hour drive from Miami to Key West is worth it alone. Crossing the 42 bridges and 32 islands, one can see the turquoise, greens and blues of the Atlantic Ocean on the East, and the Gulf of Mexico on the west for miles, from US1, the only route leading to Key West. Another "first", is the John Pennekamp State Park, the only underwater park in the United States. The park is a refuge for 55 varieties of delicate corals, and thousands of different species of fish. This is truly a scuba diver's/snorkler's paradise. Once you are in Key West, you feel like you have reached an island in the Caribbean. First populated by pirates who were "salvaging" ships that ran onto the coral reefs, it also became the favorite haunts of Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Harry Truman and Jimmy Buffet. The atmosphere is relaxed, the people are friendly, and the sunsets are world famous for their beauty and extravagance. If you drive to Key West, be sure to go on a sunny day, as that is when the vistas and ocean views are at their most beautiful.
