Key West Day Trip Guide | No Car Needed! 🌴
📍 Why Key West? A 4-hour bus ride from Miami drops you into a pastel paradise—think Hemingway cats, lobster rolls, and the southernmost point of the continental U.S.! 🚌 Transportation Bus Tour: $49 round-trip (7 AM pickup, 5:30 PM return). On-Island Transport: Free Duval Loop Bus: Covers main attractions. Walkable: Most sights are within 1 mile. 📸 Must-Do Stops (Follow This Order!) 1️⃣ Hemingway Home & Museum ($18) Star Attraction: 60+ cats (half with 6 toes!). Free Tour: Runs hourly—learn about Papa’s writing habits. 2️⃣ Southernmost Point Buoy Photo Hack: Stand on the side platform to skip the 30-min line. 3️⃣ Mile Marker 0 Quick Stop: Snap the US-1 highway start/end signs. 4️⃣ Sunset Pier (If Time Allows) Best For: Sunset cocktails (though bus schedules may conflict). 🍽️ Food & Drink Pit Stops Lunch: DJ’s Clam Shack (lobster roll = $22, but fresh). Dessert: Key Lime Pie Bakery (tart + sweet cream topping). Coffee: Cuban Coffee Queen (strong cortadito for $3). ⏰ Time-Saving Tips ✔ Hemingway House: Go right at opening (9 AM) to avoid cat crowds. ✔ Lighthouse Skip: Views are meh—save $17 for more key lime pie. ✔ Bus Back-Up: Return to pickup spot 30 mins early (traffic happens). #KeyWestDayTrip #NoCarNoProblem #HemingwayCats
