It's isolation is Key West's sole drawback, or its greatest asset, but I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be trapped then these 4.2 square miles of fun, relaxation, and a cast of local characters unlike anywhere else.

Whatever your interest, golf, shopping, swimming, or reading a book in a hammock, it's no more than 4 miles away on Key West. Read Less
