A short ferry ride (or sea plane ride) away, this national park is actually the #1 Key West attraction. Crystal clear water, white sandy beaches, coral reef, and a massive civil war fortress is what you can expect. Make sure to buy tickets ahead of time as this tour does book up. We will be there 4/14 for anyone who wants to join ;)

Fury Water Adventures

Southernmost Point

The southernmost point buoy marks the southernmost point in the continental United States. There may be a long line if you want a picture but it is a good spot to bike to and check out all the action.
