Fortunately, Key West has tons of direct flights making a nonstop flight that a lot simpler. It’s a tiny, however well-connected airport that’s tremendous simple to navigate. And it’s been freshly renovated! They’ve model new gates and also you now not should get off on the tarmac.
Breeze Airways is including direct flights and so they even have seasonal direct flights to search for!
Extra importantly (for me at the very least) is the quantity of journey time to get from the vacation spot airport to the precise vacation spot.
There have been means too many instances the place I’ve been so excited to lastly get to this superb tropical vacation spot and gotten into my transportation to then sit in a automotive (that always has a driver that has gone means too overboard with the scented automotive fresheners) after which have one other TWO HOURS within the automotive earlier than we lastly get to the resort.

That’s completely NOT the case with Southernmost Seaside Resort. From decide up on the airport to drop off on the resort examine in was perhaps 10 minutes tops.
I do know Key West isn’t very large, however I used to be nonetheless overly excited concerning the lightning-fast transport that instantly has gorgeous views of the ocean. Which is one other one in every of my favourite issues about Key West, it’s not exhausting to seek out unimaginable views, particularly at Southernmost Seaside Resort, because it’s proper on the water.
A Meals Lover’s Dream
Should you’ve learn any of my articles earlier than, then you definately’ll know that I’m an beginner foodie after I journey. Key West is an beginner foodie’s dream come true for a number of causes. First, the KEY LIME PIE.

Southernmost Seaside Resort is within the prime location to search out all the very best Key Lime Pies. On the very prime of that record was Café Sole who put an impressed twist on the normal pie by including marshmallow to the highest (insert chef’s kiss right here).
Don’t you are worried, Key West has extra than simply key lime pie. I clearly want to speak concerning the recent seafood.
For instance, the Key West pink shrimp are SO GOOD. You’ll find the well-known pink shrimp everywhere in the island, however I liked them most at Boat House Bar and Grill. When you’re there, you ABSOLUTELY must strive the sticky toffee pudding. TRUST ME!! I really like a superb Key Lime pie, however this dessert rivaled my prime favourite Key Lime pies (and that’s saying one thing coming from me).
One other excellent spot for seafood was DJ’s Clam Shack. GET THE LOBSTER ROLL! You’ll thank me later. I want I may return proper now for the lobster roll.
You don’t even want to depart the resort to get unimaginable seafood. The lobster at Southernmost Seaside Café was scrumptious, and also you positively must strive the Key West Paella. I counsel sharing the paella with a couple of folks, nevertheless it’s so price it!
The Southernmost Seaside Café additionally has nice breakfast and lunch choices to take a look at. They’ve yummy breakfast smoothies, however it’s best to strive the Florentine Benedict with added lobster. What an effective way to begin your day! If you’d like one thing gentle, refreshing, however insanely scrumptious it’s worthwhile to strive the Southernmost Seaside Café’s mango berry salad with shrimp added.
Do you wish to have a non-public connoisseur dinner together with your toes within the sand looking over the ocean? Sure, sure you do.
Southernmost Seaside Resort arrange this unimaginable expertise for us the place we had a non-public dinner on the seashore with Chef Cheyenne Armstrong cooking every little thing proper in entrance of us. 10/10 advocate!
Unforgettable Key West Experiences
If you wish to learn to make some native favourite meals, then you definately positively must check out the Key West Cooking School. This was an incredible expertise with a fantastically designed classroom the place they educate you the best way to make the meals you’re consuming (with out you having to do any of the exhausting work).
The instructors had been hilarious, however in addition they highlighted some fascinating historical past of Key West all through the category.
Key West can also be recognized for a superb time with good drinks, and it did NOT disappoint.
One in all my new must-do’s in Key West is the Key West Legal Rum Tour and Mojito Making Class. Paul and Crystal Menta go all out to make this an unforgettable expertise.
This was one in every of my TOP favourite issues we did. Through the mojito making class, Crystal walked us by how they grew to become the first rum runners to Havana the place they realized the best way to make a PERFECT mojito.
They’ve, after all, put their very own little Key West twist on it, and it’s actually the very best mojito I’ve ever had.
Talking of fantastic experiences, one in every of my favourite issues to do in Key West is dolphin watching and snorkeling.
So it can come as no shock that I LOVED the Dolphin Watch and Snorkel Excursion with Fury.
@traveloffpath Magical moments with Fury Key West!
We received actually fortunate and had a number of teams of dolphins come to go to us and a few of them even had infants with them!
The captain and crew members had been fairly educated and gave us tons of enjoyable dolphin tidbits whereas we watched the dolphins mess around us.
My primary favourite out of every little thing we did (together with seeing child dolphins) was the Island Tales Golf Cart Tour with Amy Andrade.
This was HANDS DOWN the very best tour I’ve ever been on. She is aware of nearly every little thing and might cater the tour to what you’re most concerned about. Amy’s ardour for historical past and storytelling is contagious. We spent the complete time on the sting of our seats and hanging on to her each phrase she mentioned.
You higher imagine that I’m reserving a tour together with her each single time I am going again to Key West any more. Amy books up quick although so it’s worthwhile to e-book means prematurely!
The Coronary heart of Key West: The Folks
Amy can also be the Expertise Director at Southernmost Seaside Resort. She hosts a trivia night time on Wednesdays at Southernmost Seaside Resort and we had a blast!
Our workforce even took first place together with a prize and bragging rights. We had a lot enjoyable with Amy once more that we begged her to squeeze in a conch blowing class together with her earlier than our flights out the following morning.
Amy additionally helps embody one in every of my different favourite issues about Key West, the folks and the Key West tradition. As a vacationer, it’s by no means enjoyable to really feel like a nuisance or undesirable by the locals.
Key West is small, so everybody is aware of everybody there, however they nonetheless love vacationers and you may positively really feel it. One of many largest sayings/slogans on the island is “One Human Household.”
Even being there for a couple of quick days, you begin to really feel how a lot the folks of Key West actually imagine that we’re all only one human household, irrespective of the place we come from, what we seem like, or what we imagine in.
It’s a lovely solution to reside.
