Key West is known for it's open doors to alternative lifestyles. There is a sense of freedom, an easy going-ness in Key West. You will see more tattoos, you'll hear the greatest diversity of music, see beautiful works of art, get a new respect for individual freedom. These are people who would fight for their independence. I see Key West as a trend setting community.
People are unpretentious, caring, creative and very proud.
And their diversity of ideas and lifestyles make one day in Key West seem like you have been in many, many lands, all condensed together in a 24-hour period. We feel in love with Key West, as we did many many many years ago, and as we will when we are here the next time.
