About location

Key West combines a compact historic core with an island-edge setting in a way that reflects its position at the end of the Florida Keys. The city occupies Key West island between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, with North Roosevelt Boulevard carrying US Route 1 along its northern side. US 1 reaches its southern terminus in Key West, completing a route that follows the Keys before continuing north to Maine. Old Town retains low-rise streets and wooden houses, while the harbour, marinas and waterfront roads express the city’s long maritime connection. Fishing and passenger boats continue to use its waters. Its cultural landmarks include the Hemingway Home, where Ernest Hemingway lived during the 1930s. The 1937 novel To Have and Have Not is set here.

Key West
City Key West

Key West lies along the Florida Straits, at the western end of the Florida Keys, where low-lying islands meet subtropical waters. This island city is connected to mainland Florida by the Overseas Highway, a route that crosses the Keys via a chain of bridges. Old Town retains many wood-frame conch houses, while Duval Street links the historic waterfront with the island’s commercial heart. Ernest Hemingway lived here during the 1930s; his former home on Whitehead Street is now a museum, known for its colony of polydactyl cats. Mallory Square’s nightly Sunset Celebration gives the waterfront a distinctly local ritual. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Key West and the Florida Keys.

Florida
Region Florida

Florida occupies a low-lying peninsula in the southeastern United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. Lake Okeechobee lies near its centre, and water from this basin historically flowed south through the Everglades, a vast subtropical wetland protected in part by Everglades National Park. The Florida Keys extend southwest from the mainland, while long sandy coasts and inland freshwater systems shape everyday life across the state. St. Augustine, founded by Spain in 1565, is widely recognised as the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement in the United States.

Country United States

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
