Now, we’re in Key West for our spring break. Here our my thoughts-
It could not be more beautiful here! Everywhere you go, there’s a new type of flower growing next to the road. You’ll see orchids growing in people front yards!
The food is amazing. We’ve eaten a lot of fish and shellfish. Last night, we had oysters, steamed clams, and conch. If you come to Key West, know that dolphin fish isn’t actually real dolphin, it’s a type of fish very similar to mahi mahi. As for deserts, The key lime pie is great and we’ve been loving the local ice cream and bakery’s and were very excited to see a Häagen-Dazs store!
I would recommend renting bikes- the island is small but walking everywhere would take a long time. It’s much easier and more fun to rent bikes. It’s very safe and a lot of bike lanes. We rented ours next to the restraunt, Pepe’s (which is also a great place to eat).
Key West is not known for its beaches and you can tell, the sand is rocky and not very pretty and there’s a lot of seaweed. Our favorite beach so far is Fort Zachary. You have to pay to get in but it’s great. I liked that there was picnic tables and palm trees so if you didn’t want to rent an umbrella and lounge chair, you still had somewhere to sit in the shade. The water is clean but gets deep fast so not great for little kids. Higs beach and south beach are okay but not great, lots of seaweed and rocky.
We aren’t traveling as much since we aren’t in Europe anymore, when we do, I’ll keep you posted!
Also going to do a post more about what we did here in Key West!
Love,
Ella
