Key West is America's Caribbean. It is an island city of palm-lined streets boasting Victorian homes, gingerbread conch houses
and mansions on the National Register. It is known for its infamous nightlife, the freshest seafood and great food and shopping and is the only place where celebrating the sun setting is
a popular past time. Key West has always been an artists and a literary retreat for many. Ernest Hemingway and John Audubon lived here and Truman had his summer White House
here. The city is only two miles by about four miles and lies at the end of the Overseas Highway and is where the Gulf Stream nurtures North America's only living coral reef.
