It runs the entire mile from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. People come to Key West to enjoy the food, the scenery, sunsets, beaches, snorkeling, diving, and of course the world-class fishing.

Ernest Hemingway lived in Key West, the islands influence is obvious in more than a few of his books. Hemingway spent time battling blue marlin, sailfish, mahi mahi, tuna, wahoo, and more from the deck of his boat, the Pilar. His stories of fishing offshore and inshore in the Florida Keys helped popularize sport fishing around the globe.
