Smile My first time to Key West

Hi everyone,
I will be going to Key West for the first time in a few weeks. I am looking for a nice, relaxing, quiet vacation. Anyone have any suggestions on what I should do and where to visit? Keep in mind I am on a limited budget and traveling alone. Any tips or ideas will be greatly appreciated.

--Phillygirl

Things to do

First thing to do when you get here is to take the Conch Train Tour. Its about 1 1/2 hours long and will give you a good over view of the island and its history. It will also point out other sites to go back and tour if you want to. After that, its really up to you and what you like to do. There are several types of museums here. There are lots of boats that offer all kinds of activities. Have a drink at the Pier at Ocean Key House and watch the boats go by. If you like people watching, go to the bar at Mangoes. Be sure to go to Mallory Square at least once for the Sunset Celebration.

Another recommendation is sunset cruising on the Florida gulf. Floriday's is docked at the Hyatt Resort & Marina at 601 Front St. Go on their "champagne sunset cruise". The sun slowly slips into the gentle waters of the gulf. If you are staying at the Hyatt you can get a 15% discount which is great or one of the other resorts on the Island. You won't be disapponinted & the crew is great!
