Key West, Florida

We aren’t going to lie to you—you won’t find stunning white-sand beaches in Key West. But Key West is one of our top Beach Destinations because it’s a great place for water activities (if you can do it on the ocean,

you can probably do it here), and it has a fun, laid-back island atmosphere. Once the sun sets, Key West’s nightlife is legendary… and literary, thanks to everyone’s favorite author/barfly, Ernest Hemingway.
