When we arrive back in Key West Florida where we first fell in love, we rediscover why it left a lasting impression. Its southern charm, laid back lifestyle and Caribbean flavor give this place its special flavor. Prominent figures through the years have confirmed its appeal. Some have chosen to make it their permanent home. While others simply came to enjoy its warmth during harsh winter months in the north.
More than a million travelers arrive annually. They are drawn to visit this paradise isle lying at the southernmost point of the mainland. They quickly learn why President Harry Truman mused about making his Winter White House permanent.
This Key and most of the other Keys are situated on the dividing line between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. These two bodies of water have different currents. The calmer and warmer body of water is the Gulf of Mexico. This is a great place to go diving or to snorkel and see the many fish species and the only coral reef in North America.
The island lies within the city of Key West which also covers the territory of close by islands. The historic district is situated in the first settlement area of older mansions and bungalows in the Old Town. Most are from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Some of the popular tourist destinations can be found here. These include Mallory Square, Duval Street, Fort Zachary Taylor and the Truman Annex.
The island has increased in size via landfill. The new section is known as the New Town. It contains residential areas, schools, ball parks, retail strips, malls and the international airport. Basically, the island has four distinct areas. These are the Old Town area, New Town area, Mid Town region and the Casa Marina.
You can enjoy aquatic pursuits or find things to do on land. You can take it easy or be rigorously active. Shipwreck finds, the abodes of famous literary heroes and haunts of famous figures, classic architecture and beautiful gardens are things to see. Parasailing, water skiing, cruises, Dolphin watch and glass bottom boat tours are some of the other available activities. Fishing enthusiasts will not be disappointed practicing their hobby either at sea or by the shallow water flats.
Back in Key West Florida where we first fell in love are the many pleasures we enjoyed. The renowned sunset jogs our memories every day. On Mallory Square each night vendors, performers, and artists offer a resplendent experience. The sun drenched island hospitality has a perennial charm that entices repeat and first time visitors alike.
