Monroe County, Florida
Here’s the thing about Monroe County: it’s mostly water. The Florida Keys stretch out like a string of pearls, with Key West as the crowning jewel. It’s the southernmost point of the continental U.S., closer to Cuba than Miami.
Fishing and diving are popular in the coral reefs. You’ll find a laid-back vibe that’s more Caribbean than mainland Florida. Key West’s Duval Street is party central, while the rest of the Keys offer quieter escapes. The Overseas Highway is an engineering marvel, connecting the islands.
Ernest Hemingway’s old house, complete with six-toed cats, is a popular tourist spot. Monroe County has more boats than cars in some parts. It’s a place where flip-flops are formal wear and sunsets are a nightly celebration.
