3 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.

Museum-lovers will appreciate Mel Fisher Maritime Heritage Museum and Key West Lighthouse and Keeper's Quarters Museum. Get in touch with nature at Stand-Up Paddleboarding and Dolphin & Whale Watching. Go for a jaunt from Key West to Big Pine Key to see National Key Deer Refuge about 50 minutes away. Next up on the itinerary: soothe aching muscles at some of the top local wellness centers, add some adventure to your tour with a kayaking and canoeing tour, tour the pleasant surroundings at Smathers Beach, and look for all kinds of wild species at Wildlife Areas.
