Some places happen to have good fishing. In Key West, fishing is part of the island’s personality.
Walk around the Historic Seaport early in the morning and you will see captains loading bait, anglers carrying rods and boats slipping away from the docks. A few hours later, those same boats return with stories—some about the fish they landed and plenty about the one that got away.
That's the fun of fishing in Key West. You can stalk bonefish across glassy flats, drop a line near a busy reef or head offshore in search of something big enough to make the reel scream. You don't have to be an expert, either. Pick the right trip, listen to your captain and prepare to get hooked.

Food trucks are no longer found only at carnivals and fairs.They no longer sell plastic wrapped pre-made sandwiches to construction workers. They are not just set up outside your local hardware stores, so weekend do-it-yourselfer's can grab a quick bite.

Imagine wandering through Key West and hearing live music drifting from a waterfront bar. You stop for a drink—and discover the person on stage wrote a song you've heard a hundred times.
That's the magic of the Key West Songwriters Festival.
Held each spring, this five-day celebration brings songwriters, performers and music fans together throughout Key West for something very different from a traditional music festival. Instead of spending your entire trip in front of one giant stage, you can discover performances in intimate theaters, waterfront venues, legendary Key West bars and unexpected spots around the island.
