Welcome to the enchanting island of Key West, where turquoise waters, swaying palms, and a vibrant atmosphere create the perfect backdrop for your dream honeymoon. Nestled at the southernmost tip of Florida, Key West beckons couples with its captivating charm and promises an unforgettable escape filled with romance, adventure, and so many photo-worthy moments. Let's embark on a journey through the wonders of this tropical paradise and discover the treasures that await you.
Romantic Escapades
As the sun dips below the horizon, romance takes center stage in Key West. Stroll hand-in-hand along the picturesque Mallory Square and savor the breathtaking sunset together. Starting about two hours before sunset every day, and leading well into the night, visitors and locals head to Mallory Square for a "Sunset Celebration" that's been going on since the 1960s! You'll find magicians, jugglers, clowns, psychics, local musicians, artists,food vendors and of course the main attraction, an amazing sunset! For a unique experience, set sail on a romantic sunset cruise, where you'll toast to your love amidst the splendor of the Caribbean Sea. Lovebirds seeking ultimate tranquility can wander through the serene and enchanting Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory.
Adventure Awaits
Key West isn't just for romance; it's a haven for adventure enthusiasts too. Spend a day snorkeling in the the crystal-clear waters for an underwater escapade where you'll explore vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life. If you're looking for even more underwater adventure, there are plenty of dive shops & Key West has some of the best scuba diving in the United States. For thrill-seekers, embark on a kayaking adventure through the mangroves or go parasailing together, soaring above the coastline. Cycling around the island hand in hand offers a fun and active way to explore its hidden gems.
Journey to Dry Tortugas National Park
A visit to Dry Tortugas National Park is a must for nature-loving couples. Located 70 miles off the coast of Key West it is accessible only by seaplane or ferry. This remote island paradise offers a peaceful retreat where you can immerse yourself in the wonders of untouched nature. Discover historic Fort Jefferson, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters, and share a secluded beach picnic in this pristine oasis. There are no restaurants here, but if you take the ferry over they provide both breakfast and lunch. If you take the seaplane you'll want to pack snacks or a picnic! There's no cell service either so you'll be able to fully enjoy each other without any distractions. There's no need to panic, in case of emergency the park ranger has a satellite phone!
Romantic Dining
Indulge in the delectable flavors of Key West's diverse culinary scene. For a romantic ambiance, reserve a table at Latitudes on Sunset Key. Situated on a private island, you'll relish an exquisite dining experience with breathtaking ocean views. Savor fresh seafood delights at local favorites like A&B Lobster House and Conch Republic Seafood Company. Don't forget to stop for some key lime pie, preferably every day! There are plenty of places to try, we recommend starting with Kermit's Key Lime Shoppe. Or, for an after dinner drink, stop at the Bull & Whistle Bar on Duval Street. It's three bars in one - head to the second floor, The Whistle Bar, for a balcony overlooking Duval Street. It's a great place to people watch while enjoying a drink or two. If you're feeling really frisky, you can head up to the third floor where you'll find The Garden of Eden, a clothing optional rooftop bar!

Key West boasts an array of luxurious and romantic accommodations to make your honeymoon truly special. The Casa Marina, a Waldorf Astoria Resort, offers timeless elegance with stunning ocean views, private beach access, and a picturesque pier where you can share intimate moments. The romantic ambiance of The Reach Key West, Curio Collection by Hilton, will captivate your hearts with its elegant amenities and idyllic setting. For the ultimate in luxury and romance, stay at the Sunset Key Cottages, where you'll find luxury cottages on a private island just minutes away. If you're looking for a more budget friendly option, the Harborside Motel and Marina where you can rent a houseboat right on the water.
