Everyone gets a picture here, but it's extremely underwhelming. When we went there was a line of people waiting to take their picture in front of the Southernmost Point buoy. The clincher for me, though, was that clearly visible from the "Southernmost" Point, is land farther South than the Southernmost Point. more

There are 3 reasons why this is a must. 1. How cool is it to say you have been the southern most point in the U.S. 2. The ride there is amazin, considering how small the island is, recommend you rent a scooter for the day, at least, and ride all around Key West. 3. It's free..... more

I think if you go to Key West you should take a minute or two to get a picture. The statues are gone now:) more

I wouldn't go out of my way to see the Southernmost Point, but if you are there anyway, or if you are on the trolley where you can get off and back on, check it out. There is no parking nearby, so I suggest either walking or taking the trolley. more

At last a free activity! You can go to the southern most point in the US. It is a giant bouy that is painted to say the southernmost point. It is fun to say you've been there and of course take a photo. It is at the end of South street. You can't miss it! more

It’s just one of those landmarks where you must go so that you can say that you’ve been there. And, of course you must take a photo there as well. HELPFUL HINT: During the day, there can be a time-consuming line to get your Southernmost moment. We opted to drive by during the day to see the site but came... more

What can I say, you go here, take a picture, and then you have proof that you have in fact been to the southernmost point of the continental United States. If you're like me and have to have a picture of yourself whereever you go, then this is a must do. They appear to have taken down the fake paper... more

This landmark is something you have to see when you make the trip to Key West, but I don't know why they have decided to recently add realistic statues to the buoy. The statues are posing for pictures exactly where you want to be standing. So for you to get a picture with this landmark, you have some clay statues... more

So it's a slab of concrete, go in the early morning or later in the evening and have your picture taken. more

This is crazy - people lined up, pushing and shoving, all to get a photo next to a cement buoy that isn't even actually on the Southermost point on the island. Just so everyone comes home with the exact same vacation picture! It's a bit frustrating, and to me, a bit pointless. There are LOTS of more fun ways to... more
