Key West, Coastal city in Florida, United States.
Key West occupies the westernmost island of Florida Keys, connected to mainland by the Overseas Highway through multiple bridges over turquoise waters.
Spanish explorers discovered the island in 1521, finding indigenous Calusa settlements and naming it Cayo Hueso due to scattered human remains.
The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum preserves the residence where the writer created numerous works between 1931 and 1939.
Mallory Square offers sunset celebrations with street performers, local artists, and food vendors gathering daily before dusk.
The southernmost point of continental United States lies in Key West, marked by a concrete buoy at the intersection of South and Whitehead Streets.
