Key West’s weather is warm and balmy year round. Through winter and spring, you can expect highs in the mid 70s, with lows rarely dipping below the 60s. Things heat up in the summer, but rarely go above the low 90s. Watch out for clouds and rain between May and October as well as extremely high humidity, which can reach 100 percent from July to September.

Peak Season: The vast majority of tourists that flood onto the island come during the peak season of December to February. Those hoping to escape harsh weather are drawn to Florida’s mild climate and party atmosphere, but don’t expect to find reasonably priced accommodation. The best time to visit the island is between March and May when the winter crowds taper-off and the local accommodation rates become reasonable. During the spring to early summer season the climate is still quite mild and you are likely to escape the threat of hurricanes or other inclement weather. Off-Peak Season: If you are willing to take a gamble, the rainy summer months (June to August) see the fewest tourists and the hotel rates are at their lowest.

Life in Key West is casual, with even the finest restaurants happy to seat you while you’re wearing shorts (as long as you have a collared shirt!).

Sunscreen is mandatory under the hot sun, and you should attach a leash around your sunglasses to keep them close at hand. If you plan to spend a lot of time at the beach or pool, bring a waterproof bag to protect your phone, keys, camera and reading material.

Key West is an island with fascinating history and plenty to do, though no one would blame you if you decided to spend your entire vacation relaxing on a white sand beach. Check out the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum to learn not only about the famous author but to see what life was like in the Keys 100 years ago; the Audubon House also opens this door to the past. President Truman’s Little White House is also a great destination for history buffs. If you spend all your time on land while in Key West, you’re missing a lot of the fun this island offers. Book a charter boat to head out onto either the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean to enjoy dolphin-watching, fishing, snorkeling and scuba diving, or island-hopping. You can also take a chartered boat or a ferry to visit Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas National Park, or rent a kayak or paddleboard to explore the waters around Key West on your own. Shopping in Key West is delightful, and no trip is complete without a stroll down Duval Street to check out its boutiques and art galleries. At Mallory Square, right on the waterfront, you’ll find artisans at work in their booths as well as food vendors. Come around sunset to watch the sun disappear over the Gulf. When it’s time to chill at the beach, drop your towel near Lagerheads Beach Bar for fresh fish tacos, or treat yourself to a stay at the Ibis Bay Beach Resort, where a day in a hammock with brightly colored macaws flying by approaches perfection.
