My favorites from Key West in no particular order including dining, nightlife, and day activities.

|
| Had the clams appetizer, pork with mango chutney for entree, and caramel apple crisp for dessert. It was all amazing! |

2. Gulfstream III
|
|
| Night fishing on the Gulfstream. Probably the funnest thing I did while in Key West and I had never fished. I caught 6 fish the first time and 26 the second, mostly snappers. Had a blast! They'll fillet your fish and you can take it to a restaurant to be prepared or do it yourself. |

3. Jet skiing
|
|
| Rent a jet ski and do doubles so you can throw each other off. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Have a margarita and watch live music. I'd usually get a blackened hot dog while I was there too. The creperie next door is amazing also but I don't remember the name of it. |

|
| Sit on the patio and have crepes or omelets for breakfast. |

|
| The story is it was built over a cemetary so walk around and look for the headstones. If you're lucky you may even see the Captain himself there. |

7. Turtle Kraals Restaurant and Bar
|
|
| Go on a Monday or Friday before six and you can bet on a turtle race. Also check out the museum next door. |

| The fondue was awesome as well as the catch of the day. |

9. Wild Dolphin Adventures
|
|
| I went on some of the bigger catamaran snorkeling trips and this one was much better by far. Its just a local with his small boat but we got a more personal experience. He tooks us to dolphin watching first, then snorkeling we saw tons of fish, sting rays, and nurse sharks. Loved it! |

|
10. Bahia Honda State Park and Beach
|
|
| The nicest beach in the area. Take some food and have a bbq on the beach. Wish I had a chance to camp and snorkel in Looe Key but didn't get around to it. |
|
|
11. Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory
|
|
| Walk through the garden and if you sit still for awhile the butterflies will land on you. Thousands of colorful butterflies. |
|
|
|
12. Duval Crawl
|
|
| Stroll up and down Duval street for shopping and bar hopping at night, they stay open until about 4 am and later if you know where to go. Around the 800 block you can catch a drag show, they start at 9 pm and the drag queens are out on the street beforehand. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Sunset at Mallory Square is full of street performers. |
|
|
14. Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park
|
|
| Kind of a rocky beach out but great for snorkeling and bbq and sunsets. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Play volleyball, rent a kayak, go parasailing, or just lay out and enjoy the sun. If its in season you can even get a kiteboarding lesson with Kitehouse here but you have to set it up in advance. |
