20 days in Key West Itinerary

Located just 140 km (90 mi) from Cuba, Key West is an island only about 6.4 km (4 mi) long and 1.6 km (1 mi) wide.

Change things up with these side-trips from Key West: Big Pine Key (Bahia Honda State Park, National Key Deer Refuge, &more), Marathon (The Turtle Hospital, Crane Point Museum & Nature Center, &more) and Dolphin Research Center (in Grassy Key).

And it doesn't end there: see the interesting displays at The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, discover the deep blue sea with a scuba or snorkeling tour, stroll through Mallory Square, and cast your line with a fishing tour.
