If you are in Miami and you have enough beaches there is an option to go for the day tour to Key West. At least four different companies offer to take you in the morning (like 7.30) and drive you on their big bus to the end of long island chain, giving you 6 hours of free time in Key West and returning to Miami after 9 pm. That’s what I did today, paying 70 USD for the round trip.
I have been to Key West alreaady twice (by car and by cruise ship) but it was many years ago. Key still has its exotic charm with elegant, colonial houses, boat piers, bars, museums. A herd of cats still occupy the house of Ernest Hemingway (but they charge already hefty 18 USD entry fee – no discounts!) There was long line of tourists waiting to make a picture in front of “southernmost point of USA”. Lovely, sunny and interesting day!
