The Pier house is good and the Ocean key resort is right across the street, they are both located on Duval st. Lots of places to explore and eat. Lots of bars. they got a good place that makes fudge and ice cream on Duval st. Definitely do a kayak trip good way to see the island i'm sure they have kayak tours . The conch train is a open tour to show you the sites they drive around the island. Fishing is good depends on what kind you would like to do backcountry or offshore sailfishing is red hot right now. Water temp just dropped down to 80 degrees thats still good for diving or snorkeling just pick the right day [calm seas]don't forget the sunset at Mallory Square good drinks and some street performers always fun to watch the sunset in Key West
Key West FL
- Thread starter Hunter8282
- Start date
I spent a couple months in Key West during the the 60s can't remember where I stayed but I had a great time.
GIf you start at The Start (#1 Duval), and become leg-weary by the end, you can always hail A RICkSHAW for the return trip or remainder of it! Hahaha. But i'm Not really kidding. It's awesome. And inexpensive. Used this option any number of times over three visits there. Book at the Southernmost. You can't get lost, it's a straight line.
Annnd, seeing as this is Smith & Wesson forum, I highly recommend making a stop at one of the older, local, live-music etc. venues, named Durty Harry's. Maybe not 'family fare'. But if it's you and a date, and you like Rock n Roll, this is definitely a place you want to stop in. It's a destination for me anytime I visit. Can't imagine going to KW without catching some show there.
It's on the left? Heading North? I think??? Lol. Maybe halfway up Duval.

Last time I was in Key West was 1963 /64 so I'm no help.
Still a Navy & shrimp town then....
Me too...but in 1968. Spent 6 weeks there training midshipmen. They tell me I celebrated my 23rd birthday there, but I have no recollection of such.
Best Regards, Les
Been there several times.
Stay near down town/Duval st.
Walk every where.
Hemingway's hose tour is good
There is a ship wreck museum that we enjoyed.
Eat lunch at Blue Heavan, and watch out for the chickens
Lots of weird people in KW.
