Key Views of Key West

Key West, FL–Really, there isn’t a bad view of Key West. But some views are not to be missed, like the sunsets from the torch-lit patio of Latitudes restaurant at Westin’s Sunset Key.  Watch sailboats float past an orange dreamsicle sky.

Be sure to catch the windblown panorama view from the top of Key West Lighthouse. I climbed the 88 cast-iron steps up the lighthouse, rewarded with a close-up of the pretty prism light above and magnificent island scenes below.  Made me wonder what it was like for the women lightkeepers back in the day.

Everybody likes to pose by the Southermost Point concrete monument at the intersection of Front and Whitehead streets. Maybe worth a snap, but not a wait in line.

My favorite view of Key West had to be sunset from the deck of the Western Union schooner, sails hoisted and full.
