Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been coming to Key West for 20 years now, and it hasn't changed at all.

I would say consider coming here for Sandpur Beach, also Loggerhead Beach. Those are some of the best ones.

I recommend tours, though.

I always recommend doing tours, especially for first-timers, because that's how you get professional guidance, which is best for safety for families, especially.
