You’ll receive a butterfly-shaped souvenir card. Great for insect or bird lovers! 📍 Southernmost Point of the Continental U.S.A. 🕒 24h | 🎫 Free The iconic 🟥🟨⬛️ buoy marks the southernmost point of the continental U.S. It’s a must-visit, but expect long lines during the day. You can take photos nearby if you don’t want to wait. 📍 The Hemingway Home and Museum 🕒 9:00-17:00 | 🎫 $19 Hemingway’s former residence—a paradise for cat lovers! Dozens of six-toed 🐈 roam freely (you can pet them!). The house is vintage and artistic, and the gift shop is fantastic (found a beautiful fridge magnet!). 📍 Key West Lighthouse 🕒 10:00-17:00 | 🎫 $17 A historic lighthouse next to Hemingway’s home, perfect for photos. You can climb to the top for a panoramic view, but the ticket is pricey—so we just took pictures outside. 📍 Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park 🕒 8:00-17:00 | 🎫 $4.50 A Civil War fort with one of Key West’s best beaches. Sadly, we spent too much time at Hemingway’s house and missed it. 📍 Truman Little White House 🕒 9:30-16:30 | 🎫 $22.95 President Truman’s "White House"—great for history buffs. We skipped it due to the high ticket price and lack of interest. 📍 Mallory Square 🕒 24h | 🎫 Free A great spot to enjoy the sea breeze and sunset. If time allows, grab a drink at a bar 🍺. #Miami #KeyWest
