9 Reasons to Drive to Key West


Every once in a while an island escape is totally necessary, but the idea of having to get on a plane and deal with hordes of out-of-practice travellers is all-too-often a complete nightmare. But for Miamians, a tropical vacation free from TSA-induced madness is actually super attainable—and with minimal planning, you can be there by lunchtime. 

Often referred to as Miami’s backyard, Key West is the southernmost island in the Florida Keys. It’s an easy 3.5 hours away, but has the ability to make its visitors feel like they’re a million miles from home. It’s a haven for dive bar lovers who always seem to be living their best life, there’s live music around every corner, the area is rife with historic sites dating back to the early 1800s, and, of course, opportunities to gorge yourself on conch fritters abound.
