The best photos of Key West aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Mallory Square will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Fort Zachary Taylor for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
The southernmost point of the continental US — a tropical island of Hemingway history, pastel houses, and legendary sunsets at Mallory Square.
