10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Key West That You Shouldn't Miss

March 16, 2022 Yuk Petri

Does time ever pass in the Florida Keys? Everyone and everything in Key West seems to go at its own pace, right down to the ice melting slooooowly in your margarita glass. Of course, it’s not all limes and leisure – Key West is known as the “Winter White House” because of its appeal to visiting U.S. presidents, and the island has been home to literary greats like Ernest Hemingway and Tennessee Williams. The diving here is phenomenal, as is the kid-friendly Florida Keys Eco-Discovery Center.

This was truly a relaxing vacation after being locked up with Covid for a year. I ended it with the most amazing treatment, the Royal Indulgence, a two hour facial and shoulder massage, provided by Jennifer. She is very friendly, provided a thoroughly relaxing experience, and my skin was glowing! I highly recommend this spa and Jennifer. Jan S.
