Thankfully, 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 have model new gates and also you not should get off on the tarmac.

Breeze Airways is including direct flights and so they even have seasonal direct flights to search for!

More 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 approach too many occasions 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 usually has a driver that has gone approach too overboard with the scented automotive fresheners) after which have one other TWO HOURS within the automotive earlier than we lastly get to the lodge.

That is completely NOT the case with Southernmost Beach Resort. From decide up on the airport to drop off on the resort examine in was possibly 10 minutes tops.

I do know Key West isn’t very massive, however I used to be nonetheless overly excited in regards to the lightning-fast transport that instantly has gorgeous views of the ocean. Which is one other one among my favourite issues about Key West, it’s not exhausting to search out unimaginable views, particularly at Southernmost Beach Resort, because it’s proper on the water.

A Food Lover’s Dream

If you’ve learn any of my articles earlier than, you then’ll know that I’m an beginner foodie once I journey. Key West is an beginner foodie’s dream come true for a number of causes. First, the KEY LIME PIE.

I can not emphasize that sufficient. If you’re not a Key Lime pie individual, you then’re doing it mistaken (simply kidding, to every their very own).

Southernmost Beach Resort is within the prime location to seek out all the most effective Key Lime Pies. At the very high of that checklist 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 concerned, Key West has extra than simply key lime pie. I clearly want to speak in regards to the recent seafood.

For instance, the Key West pink shrimp are SO GOOD. You can discover the well-known pink shrimp all around the island, however I liked them most at Boat House Bar and Grill. While you’re there, you ABSOLUTELY must attempt the sticky toffee pudding. TRUST ME!! I like Key Lime pie, however this dessert rivaled my high favourite Key Lime pies (and that’s saying one thing coming from me).

Another excellent spot for seafood was DJ’s Clam Shack. GET THE LOBSTER ROLL! You will thank me later. I want I may return proper now for the lobster roll.

You don’t even want to go away the resort to get unimaginable seafood. The lobster at Southernmost Beach Café was scrumptious, and also you positively must attempt the Key West Paella. I recommend sharing the paella with a number of folks, but it surely’s so price it!

The Southernmost Beach Café additionally has nice breakfast and lunch choices to take a look at. They have yummy breakfast smoothies, however it is best to attempt the Florentine Benedict with added lobster. What a good way to start out your day! If you need one thing gentle, refreshing, however insanely scrumptious it is advisable to attempt the Southernmost Beach Café’s mango berry salad with shrimp added.

Do you need to have a personal connoisseur dinner along with your toes within the sand searching over the ocean? Yes, sure you do.

Southernmost Beach Resort arrange this unimaginable expertise for us the place we had a personal dinner on the seashore with Chef Cheyenne Armstrong cooking every little thing proper in entrance of us. 10/10 suggest!

Unforgettable Key West Experiences

If you need to learn to make some native favourite meals, you then positively must check out the Key West Cooking School. This was an incredible expertise with a superbly designed classroom the place they train you how one can make the meals you’re consuming (with out you having to do any of the exhausting work).

The instructors have 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 time with good drinks, and it did NOT disappoint.

One of 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 among my TOP favourite issues we did. During the mojito making class, Crystal walked us by way of how they grew to become the first rum runners to Havana the place they discovered how one can make a PERFECT mojito.

They’ve, in fact, put their very own little Key West twist on it, and it’s actually the most effective mojito I’ve ever had.

Speaking of fantastic experiences, one among my favourite issues to do in Key West is dolphin watching and snorkeling.

So it’s going to come as no shock that I LOVED the Dolphin Watch and Snorkel Excursion with Fury.

We obtained 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 have 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 most effective tour I’ve ever been on. She is aware of nearly every little thing and may cater the tour to what you’re most eager about. Amy’s ardour for historical past and storytelling is contagious. We spent your complete time on the sting of our seats and hanging on to her each phrase she stated.

You higher imagine that I’m reserving a tour together with her each single time I am going again to Key West to any extent further. Amy books up quick although so it is advisable to e-book approach upfront!

The Heart of Key West: The People

Amy can also be the Experience Director at Southernmost Beach Resort. She hosts a trivia evening on Wednesdays at Southernmost Beach 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 subsequent morning.

Amy additionally helps embody one among 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’ll positively really feel it. One of the largest sayings/slogans on the island is “One Human Family.”

Even being there for a number 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, regardless of the place we come from, what we appear to be, or what we imagine in.

It’s a lovely solution to reside.
