We will arrive on Monday afternoon and leave early on Friday so we have 3 1/2 days to see KW. I think that we would like to stay on the island versus going to see the Dry Tortugas since it would take most of a day. What sights and activiites should we put on our list of must see or do besides eating, drinking and getting some sun?
3 days in KW, what should we not miss??Broken record here but I love them all.
Conch Train Tour
Butterfly Conservatory
Go to the to of La Concha... day or night
Rent a bike and ';find'; KW for yourself
People watch at one of the many Bars/Restaurants with an outside seating area.
The Cemetery...pretty cool stuff there.
Wake up early and walk the Bight before the sun comes up.
3 days in KW, what should we not miss??get in the water! look below! snorkel our reef.
I think you%26#39;re right to put off the trip to Ft Jefferson, given the short time frame you have.
At the risk of boring other forum members with a repeat post...
I would recommend renting bikes, in addition to just wandering around the quieter streets of Old Town on foot. Here%26#39;s a link to one of our favorite resources for navigating around Key West, either on foot or bicycle. It%26#39;s called the Walking and Biking Guide to Historic Key West, by long time resident Sharon Wells.
http://www.seekeywest.com/guide.htm
You will be able to pick these up (free) wherever you find tourista information. The guide contains an overview map of Old Town, as well as a number of walking tours specific to different neighborhoods. On the site, you%26#39;ll find a couple of samples of these, including one of the historic cemetary. If you want to learn boatloads of history about Key West, Sharon%26#39;s guide is just the thing.
Oh, and in a town that can be fairly expensive, this free guide, (did I mention it was free?), will provide hours of educational fun. We%26#39;ve been to Key West six times in the last few years, and we still pick it up every time and take a few of the walks - and we will do so again on our next visit. A great resource for newbies and vets alike.
More broken records.....
IMO the best way to spend a day in Key West is to spend it out of Key West, either here...

or here...

The simple stuff:
Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square
Old Town Trolley (Better IMO than the Train because of the all day pass with on %26amp; off privledges at ten stops around the island but then again, I%26#39;m a Trolley driver)
Snorkle the reef
If this list mimics others, it%26#39;s cause there%26#39;s certain %26#39;shouldn%26#39;t miss stuff%26#39; that alot of us agree on!
