Attractions and Activities in Key West and Lower Keys
Local Attractions
Often described as racy, raucous, bawdy, and brilliant, Key West has become a mecca for drop-outs, millionaires, and tourists. The city derives its special vibrancy from a beneficent climate that's never seen a frost, restored architectural gems that serve as guest houses and museums, a multitude of bars that stay open until the wee hours, a large gay population, and thousands of individuals and eccentrics from the Bahamas, New England, Cuba, and Africa, who were living the philosophy of "Let It Be" long before the Beatles' grandparents were born.
