And it’s been freshly renovated! They have model new gates and also you now not should get off on the tarmac.

Breeze Airways is including direct flights they usually even have seasonal direct flights to search for!

That is totally NOT the case with Southernmost Beach Resort. From choose up on the airport to drop off on the resort examine in was possibly 10 minutes tops.

I do know Key West isn’t very huge, however I used to be nonetheless overly excited in regards to the lightning-fast transport that instantly has gorgeous views of the ocean. Which is one other one in all my favourite issues about Key West, it’s not exhausting to search out unbelievable views, particularly at Southernmost Beach Resort, because it’s proper on the water.

A Food Lover’s Dream

If you’ve learn any of my articles earlier than, you then’ll know that I’m an newbie foodie once I journey. Key West is an newbie foodie’s dream come true for a number of causes. First, the KEY LIME PIE.

Southernmost Beach Resort is within the prime location to search out all one of the best Key Lime Pies. At the very prime of that record was Café Sole who put an impressed twist on the standard pie by including marshmallow to the highest (insert chef’s kiss right here).

Don’t you are concerned, Key West has extra than simply key lime pie. I clearly want to speak in regards to the contemporary seafood.

For instance, the Key West pink shrimp are SO GOOD. You can discover the well-known pink shrimp all around the island, however I beloved them most at Boat House Bar and Grill. While you’re there, you ABSOLUTELY must attempt the sticky toffee pudding. TRUST ME!! I really like Key Lime pie, however this dessert rivaled my prime favourite Key Lime pies (and that’s saying one thing coming from me).

Another great spot for seafood was DJ’s Clam Shack. GET THE LOBSTER ROLL! You will thank me later. I want I might return proper now for the lobster roll.

You don’t even want to go away the resort to get unbelievable seafood. The lobster at Southernmost Beach Café was scrumptious, and also you positively must attempt the Key West Paella. I counsel sharing the paella with just a few folks, however it’s so price it!

The Southernmost Beach Café additionally has nice breakfast and lunch choices to take a look at. They have yummy breakfast smoothies, however it’s best to attempt the Florentine Benedict with added lobster. What a good way to begin your day! If you need one thing mild, refreshing, however insanely scrumptious you’ll want to attempt the Southernmost Beach Café’s mango berry salad with shrimp added.

Do you wish to have a non-public connoisseur dinner along with your toes within the sand searching over the ocean? Yes, sure you do.

This was a tremendous expertise with a superbly designed classroom the place they educate you learn how to make the meals you’re consuming (with out you having to do any of the exhausting work).

The instructors have been hilarious, however in addition they highlighted some fascinating historical past of Key West all through the category.

Key West can be identified for time with good drinks, and it did NOT disappoint.

One of my new must-do’s in Key West is the Key West Legal Rum Tour and Mojito Making Class. Paul and Crystal Menta go all out to make this an unforgettable expertise.

This was one in all my TOP favourite issues we did. During the mojito making class, Crystal walked us by means of how they grew to become the first rum runners to Havana the place they realized learn how to make a PERFECT mojito.

They’ve, after all, put their very own little Key West twist on it, and it’s actually one of the best mojito I’ve ever had.

We received actually fortunate and had a number of teams of dolphins come to go to us and a few of them even had infants with them!

The captain and crew members have been fairly educated and gave us tons of enjoyable dolphin tidbits whereas we watched the dolphins mess around us.

My primary favourite out of the whole lot we did (together with seeing child dolphins) was the Island Tales Golf Cart Tour with Amy Andrade.

This was HANDS DOWN one of the best tour I’ve ever been on. She is aware of nearly the whole lot and may cater the tour to what you’re most curious about. Amy’s ardour for historical past and storytelling is contagious. We spent your entire time on the sting of our seats and hanging on to her each phrase she mentioned.

You higher imagine that I’m reserving a tour together with her each single time I am going again to Key West any longer. Amy books up quick although so you’ll want to e book approach upfront!

The Heart of Key West: The People

Amy can be the Experience Director at Southernmost Beach Resort. She hosts a trivia evening on Wednesdays at Southernmost Beach Resort and we had a blast!

Our workforce even took first place together with a prize and bragging rights. We had a lot enjoyable with Amy once more that we begged her to squeeze in a conch blowing class together with her earlier than our flights out the following morning.

Amy additionally helps embody one in all my different favourite issues about Key West, the folks and the Key West tradition. As a vacationer, it’s by no means enjoyable to really feel like a nuisance or undesirable by the locals.

Key West is small, so everybody is aware of everybody there, however they nonetheless love vacationers and you may positively really feel it. One of the largest sayings/slogans on the island is “One Human Family.”

Even being there for just a few brief days, you begin to really feel how a lot the folks of Key West actually imagine that we’re all only one human household, irrespective of the place we come from, what we appear to be, or what we imagine in.

It’s a phenomenal approach to reside.
