Key West blends relaxing tropical-like climate, beautiful sunsets, and rich history with an on-the-wild-side nightlife that provides a honeymoon experience of a lifetime. Whether you stay at a quaint bed and breakfast inn or a sprawling tropical resort, you're sure to enjoy your honeymoon at one of Florida's most popular vacation destinations.

If you're new to the island, you might take the Conch Tour Train on the 90-minute tour of 60 unusual and historic sites to acquaint yourself with they layout of the island. Several points of interest that also provide photo opportunities are the Hemingway House, Duval Street's Sloppy Joe's Bar, the Key West Lighthouse and the Southernmost Point in the continental United States.

If you're not into sightseeing, Mallory Square offers unique shopping and a nightly sunset celebration where artisans and entertainers gather to put on a show. Of course, the sunset is the best show of all and the perfect addition to romance-inspired evenings.

There are all sorts of dining opportunities in Key West, but you don't want to miss the oceanfront Louies Backyard that provides a wonderful atmosphere with an island flavor.

The Florida Keys are made up of a group of islands besides Key West — Islamorada, Key Largo and Marathon — that also offer a wonderful variety of resorts, parks, museums, attractions and water activities like snorkeling, scuba diving and glass-bottom boat tours of the beautiful underwater reefs.
