Key West, Florida
Visited in January 2022
- I stayed for one week at the Coconut Mallory Resort.
- The weather was wonderful and the sunsets were beautiful.
- The island smelled bad due to the rotting sargassum and the large number of boats.
- While I enjoyed biking along the beach, it’s annoying to be constantly riding alongside busy roads.
- My favorite things were:
- Swimming at Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park;
- Biking around the island;
- Eating mussels at Saulte! On the Beach;
- Visiting the Fort East Martello Museum; and
- Watching the Pole Vault in Paradise competition.
- Things I did not enjoy as much:
- Visiting Mallory Square;
- Visiting Duval street; and
- Visiting the Key West Lighthouse.
- I had not been to Key West since I was a kid. I had forgotten how touristy it was.
- There were a couple really beautifully decorated houses, the area did not feel that artsy.
- I felt like Key West was optimized for boaters. I’m not really a boat person, so I probably won’t come back for a long time.
