Key West

Key West Florida is probably the best-known small town. Barely 2 by 4 miles, it’s rumored to be tiny enough to fit into New York’s Central Park, yet Key West has managed through its rich history, its remote location and its ravishing natural beauty to earn a notation in every national and international map.

Key West sits like a jewel in the middle of the sea, between Miami and Havana, Cuba with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Gulf of Mexico on the other.

The average annual temperature of 77 degrees rarely varies more than 10 degrees in either direction, with a record low of 41 degrees and a record high of 97 degrees. It has never seen frost or snow. Perennially sunny, the island average only 39 inches of rain per year.
