Key West Florida



One of the advantages of living in Florida is that so many vacation spots are within easy reach.
This weekend we went to Key West. This is a very popular destination for many folks because
if you have enough time you can drive there.
U.S. Route 1 ends here. Discriptions of locations of places are given by what mile marker they are near.We stopped at the Southernmost point, at the south end of Whitehead St. I think this is one of
the most photographed things in Key West. It is a shame thay the marker has been vandalized,
and it remains unrepaired. I Would think that they would want to present themselves in a better
way.
Most people who have never been to the Florida Keys
imagine miles of pristine white sandy beaches-not so.
There are beaches, but the sand is imported. The natural coastline is actually coral rocks. So, if you go,
take along some old sneakers or boat shoes to walk in the water
