Hey my cruise is taking me to Key West. Anyone who has been there give me some tips on what to do and what not to miss.

Key West - is a very small town to negotiate. Easily done on foot, but there is a motorized "train" that you can take, they show you all the highlights and narrate - you know the sightseeing thing! Lots of shops, restaurants, pubs, bars etc. It's very colorful!! Ernest Hemmingway's house/museum is very interesting with his 6 toed cats that are still roaming there, if that's your thing. There's a great shop that makes leather sandals - it's usually packed out with cruisers, don't remember it's name. Sit at a waterside bar and try their conch (pronounced conk) fritters and of course the famous Key Lime Pie. Just enjoy!!!!

How about the Pirate Museum?? We plan on that the next time we're in Key West. I heard it's great.

I would also like to add Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. That is if you enjoy a fun bar scene.

The Truman White House, Zachary Taylor State Park, Half-Shell Raw Bar, the Conch Train, and Mallory Square from 1 hr before sunset till shortly after, with it's carnival-like atmosphere!! We love Key West...spent week there one December staying in The Curry Mansion Inn, bed and breakfast. We rent bikes and ride around for the day.
