The Florida Keys are one of my favorite places. From driving over that beautiful blue and green water, stopping to check the mangrove swamps on Longboat Key, or taking a quick wade along one of the pullouts. I love every mile of highway 1 from Homestead to Key West.
Key West is a lifestyle, it is the closest thing to being in the Caribbean without leaving home. Of all the fun things to do in Key West the sunset celebration is a must do. Everyone gathers in Mallory Square to watch street performers like tightrope walkers, fire eaters and trained house cats. Its a party to the setting sun, and when the sun finally disappears under the horizon, the crowd erupts into applause.
One of the best ways to view the sunset is from the deck of a sail boat. We sailed on the catamaran Sebago Marquesa. Its 70 foot length gave us plenty of deck space to walk around for the 2 hour cruise. Complimentary beer and champagne made for a relaxing evening. The crew were friendly and hospitable.
