I lived in Key West for 26 years. It's the most beautiful place with the nicest people I've ever experienced.

[johndrmousenest]

the drive to Key West is stunningly beautiful and restores the soulful energy to the maximum.

Been to the Keys twice...It seems like after you've been once you are always trying to get back. Such a laid back vibe. Key Lime pie...OMG!

[jamessmith]

Watching this reminded me of how old I had become (80) I traveled all of those old, closed to traffic bridges many times. Walked the beaches, and camped wherever we felt like. It sure has grown since the 50's and 60's, but where hasn't. Nice to see it all again.

I have lived in the Keyes since 1981 the best place on earth to live, Remember when you come to visit to take a deep breath slow down you are now on island time enjoy the experience!

You gotta go to the Keys at least once. But once is not enough. I love that drive. One of the most beautiful places in the world.

I love the Florida Keys. Driving down was the most relaxing time I've ever had. I camped on the beach side of Bahia Honda State Park. The most beautiful sunrises I've ever seen. We woke up early and walked down to less populated beach and saw dolphins swimming close to the shore. You can see so many stars twinkling at night and so many falling stars. I love the short overnight rain. We had to close the top of our tent a few times during the night.
Duval St. was cool but my favorite part of the Key West was the architecture and omg the flora. Tropical flowers that I'd never seen before. I drove around admiring people's plants and fruit trees lol.
The sun, the air, the color of the water, I just love the feeling this place invokes in me. One of my regrets is not stopping at Anne's Beach to wade. Wish I was driving down there now.
I'm not sure how this got in my recommendations but thank you. I needed this. 💖 The Keys!

Was just in Key West a couple of weeks ago and wanted nothing more than to stay. Such beautiful I shall return.

[davelewandowski]

It's crazy how you go from the untamed wild Everglades to a tropical paradise it's amazing I love trips to Florida.

[RocketsBlastoise]

I went to key west for my honeymoon last month. Best time of my life. I love the FL Keys

[rogeriacatto]

This place is kinda like a tropical paradise in the US, for sure!

[ynot]

One of the best drives for ur soul is from Miamis international Airport to key west. So therapeutic it took me 5 hrs when it should have been around 3. I loved it.

[krisorendorff]

When I lived in south Florida, we'd venture down to the Keys. One of the most memorable trips to Key West, is when I took my parents there, in a convertible. So glad I did

[canadafragrancereviewerdia]

Took a trip down there in 1971 with my brother got a flat tire late at night on the old bridge in Marathon. A nice man with his girlfriend drove us many miles back to our campsite (so kind) got the tire fixed the next day. Always wished I could thank that young man again for helping us. Married now many many years later I haven’t been back but Key West has really been built up. My wife Diana really wants to go so hopefully one day we will. Great video.

[tonysams]

Lived and visited since 1985-2003. The most magical times of my life! Beautiful, peaceful, inspiring. Just perfect! ❤

I was stationed at VAQ-33 FRAMP for 3 years. We loved our time in Key West. My oldest daughter was born there.

[flyby]

I was stationed in the Air Force between 1980 and 1983. It was the best time I ever had. I still see pictures of Key West when my brother stops there on a cruise. It brings back many good memories. Great food and many things to do and see. Thanks for the tour.

I’ve been driving down to the Keys from where I live in Fort Lauderdale since I got my drivers license 20 years ago and I must say, this video has a wealth of information for those new to the Keys. I’m getting ready to head down to Key West in two days and I’m so excited (despite having just been there two months ago) I must have watched this video half a dozen times in the last week 👍

I am a native Floridian and as a boy back in 1967 my family traveled to Key West. I remember a couple of gas stations and some rickety old motels. We camped out on Turtle mound, Bahia Honda, the sand knats were terrible at night, horse flies were bad too. We saw native indians walking along the roadside and the bugs didn't seem to bother them and I wondered why. Wow! It is amazing things change in just 50 years!
