Key West - Florida - United States. Guide & Hotel Reservations from Cheap Hotels

Key West is one of the islands in the Florida Keys, well known as a popular tourist destination. This city of about 26,000 residents has white sandy beaches where you can spend the day and swim, skydive, dive, fish and soak up the sun to get a beautiful golden tan.

This magical location has something for everyone. Bed and Breakfast establishments abound, as do luxury resorts, guest cottages, hotels and motels as well as campgrounds. There is such a wealth of accommodations available, you are only limited by your imagination and your wallet. No matter what your taste in food, with the plethora of restaurants you are sure to find something delicious and delectable on the menus. Taste food from the Caribbean, Cuba, the Southwest or stick to home cooking. Cuisines from all over the world are available here. You might just acquire a taste for something new.

Gaze in wonder at the underwater attractions that unfold before your eyes at the Key West Aquarium or take a romantic tour for two to see the sunset. Tours of the Old West, walking tours of the historic buildings and homes and visits to tropical gardens - these are just a few of the activities that can make this the vacation of a lifetime. Visit the Key West Shipwreck Museum or a Civil War fort at the East Martello Museum and Gallery

Scuba diving is only one of the many adventures you can have here, if this is your passion. You might like to take a fishing trip and try to catch an elusive marlin or barracuda. Golfers are not left out either with the 18-hole course at the Key West Golf Club, the only public course in Key West. If you prefer to laze around on the beach in the day and enjoy the sights and sounds of Key West at night, the nightlife is extraordinary. Live entertainment is an accepted part of the mix as you step into one of the many bars and clubs that dot this city. If you are fortunate enough to be here in November, Key West becomes a pirate's hideout during the Pirates in Paradise Festival, a week long event with tall ships and a pirate's market.

Shopping is an experience all its own with the many art galleries, boutiques and gift stores. Shop for a hammock at Lazy Way Hammocks, find that cocktail dress you always wanted at the Blue Island Store or purchase Haitian art at the Haitian Art Company.
