I’ve lived in many vacation areas if you want a shirt that says Key West go to the thrift store in Key West. People leave clothing items in hotel rooms all the time and it all goes to the thrift stores in that area.

[@bonniehowell9206]

Great tip. Also, this may have changed since online shopping have become more common, but those thrift shops like Salvation Army used to be loaded with name amd luxury brands sold on Duval street since there are not many clothing stores on the island. I have found hundreds of dollars in brands with the tags on them such as Banana Republic, Hurley,Roxy, Volcom...etc.

[@captnnoankor7017]

Scam. It is not the most Southern most point in the Continental U.S It's a island. Not part of the continent.

Also, when you go to the destination areas, go to thrift stores for beach umbrellas ⛱️ and shovels, buckets!

Dear. Thidls guy in the video is obviously is trying to monetize from negative reviews, you can skip this video and go check a normal Key west blogs where people not looking for dumpsters and trash on purpose. Enjoy, I came here in 2014 for a Summer vacation/work and since then it's been a long hot summer and I love it

[@bradcummings2781]

He's not saying it's a ripoff, he's saying at close to $200 it's a lot of money, since COVID the cost of visiting key west has become almost unbearable, the hotels that used to be reasonable has been bought up in mass by European companies, pay triple what it used to be several years ago, and then get hit with their "Resort" fees because they bought all the houses around. The last time for us was down around southern most point, it was jammed with people from Miami and the upper keys, and we had never seen a presence of Key west PD like that before

Try to go to Dry Tortuga on your own for $200 😁

My wife and I went to KW a few years back. We found that renting bikes were the best way to get around the island. Also, some of the best food was where the locals said to go to. Although, Sloppy Joe's was pretty good, but crowded. The beaches were ok, not like the panhandle area of NW Florida. The Mel Fisher's gold shop was impressive. All in all, we had a good time in KW.

[@chillywilly9573]

Wife and I flew into key West in October 2022 from Maryland and we talked to the locals and asked where they would go out to eat and they steered us to some great off the wall places to go! The Cuban food trucks were the best and had the best atmosphere at night for partying.(I enjoyed the pork tacos) We also drank and ate for next to nothing and hung out and partied with a lot of great local people. We saved the tourists stuff for the day and did Mallory square for the sunset and it had some great entertainers working for tips. Last night key West we decided to eat at Margaritaville and I ordered the cheeseburger in paradise and it was the worst burger in history for me. So talk to the locals and you will have a great time without breaking the bank. Great video.

Key West is awesome, if you like bars and walking around the historical areas. Otherwise, there are other keys that are a complete natural beauty. Cannot wait to go on vacation again there some day. Take mosquito spray!

[@LPChirrup]

It's a small place with accommodation limited by the size of the island - so you pay more, and if you don't, someone else will.

[@lastshallbefirst5516]

Oh stop, the size has nothing to do with it, but GREED has everything to do with it. Key West makes so much 💵 everyday it ridiculous. The few people and business groups that own 90% of the island are greedy and worship money. Stop making excuses for evil. Key West could charge 1/2 of what they charge for everything and still make a huge profit in tourism. It’s amazing how regular people protect the wealthy.

[@margaretdevries8090]

We lived there in ‘72 ‘74 my daughter was born there husband was military and we lived in Sigsbee park. Right on the gulf I loved it,,,, It was different then ! Not so many tourists! Easy parking, our biggest thrill was the flea market they had every 2 weeks! Returned in 2005 and it was sad ! no longer could we see the beautiful colors of the water on the 7 mile bridge! They have planted trees and bushes and it was spooky driving back in the dark! My house was gone ! Got flooded in a storm ! So they knocked down all the houses facing the water and planted more bushes and trees ! Saddened me ! It was an idyllic life, out on the water boating ! We didn’t have money to spare so made our own amusements , now so many people ! Big crowds everywhere ! I loved the Cuban beef hoagies ! Never had any better ! Also the Keno sandals great buy! Every where in Florida and any touristy towns is a rip off !!

[@barco581]

I didn't really see any scams on this video. Pretty much of all of these points apply to popular tourist coastal/beach areas. The same can be said for Long Island, Cape Cod, Jersey Shore, etc.

[@SKC193]

It was so different when we were there in 1995. We camped in Big Pine Key & drove back & forth to Key West when we felt like it. Although we did spend a few nights in a motel in KW. Not nearly as populated as now. We didn’t go to Hemingway’s house, which was ok but I hate that we missed the Shipwreck Museum’s We drove all the way down the west coast & visited all the beaches. Then drove through the Everglades (took an airboat ride) through Homestead then driving all down through the Keyes! It was breathtaking! We were gone 5 weeks & it was great! Only thing we didn’t think about was it was February when all the snowbirds were there!

[@biglou9776]

If the speed limit says 45 on US1 Heading down cruise control it. A few miles over driving back home with a ticket

[@hannahpumpkins4359]

The speed limit in Big Pine Key is strictly enforced because of the endangered Key Deer - it's a National Wildlife Refuge. When I was police there anyone I stopped in that area for speeding was guaranteed a citation.

[@SunshineStateSagas]

[@Andrew-sv6zq]

Enjoyed your video. I haven't been down there in over 40 years. I know it's not the same as it was pre-1990's. It used to be a fun place to escape to and have some fun, now it's just a big boutique and has lost its charm.

[@ridingdirty8897]

Yes I grew up there. They definitely ruined it. Nothing like it use to be. Just a dam tourist takeover now. Overpriced crap. Pay to park. The list goes on. I remember two bait shops and a few restaurants. That's all. Now it's a retarded Disney world

[@Miami7]

Great video! I do love Key West but haven't been there since the pandemic. We always drive there, and love the drive down, and stopping along the way to take in the scenery. We also take our bicycles and think that is the best way to get around. Watch the motels because now they are starting to charge for parking there! Forget parking along the streets. Most of them are marked "residents only." There is a decent multi-level parking garage on Grinnell and Caroline Streets that did not charge a ripoff price to park all day and night. If you have a handicap placard, parking anywhere in KW is free. July and August seem to be the stinky times when the seaweed washes in. As gross as it is, you kind of get used to it. Where they are standing and talking about it is one of the smelliest areas at that time of the year. About sales.. that's what sales are, they mark up the price to mark it down, everywhere. Why don't they just sell it for the right price to start with? There are some places off Duval Street where you can get some really nice tshirts for a good price. You don't have to get ripped off on food either. I think Harpoon Harrys is the best place to get a good meal in KW, followed by El Siboney. I am a big fan of the Dry Tortugas day trip. It's fun to stand outside on the trip over and back, to watch the flying fish, turtles, and to see the various shades of blue in the water. They serve a continental breakfast, and their lunch is delicious! If you have a national park senior pass, they knock $6 off the fee. You don't need to snorkel in order to see some awesome marine life. Just walk around the moat and look down. You can also walk on top of the fort and get some spectacular pictures but there are no rails or ropes to hold on to. In the summer it is crazy hot, and there isn't much shade there. The nightly sunset celebration at Mallory Square; I've seen it packed and not so crowded. Anything the vendors sell there has to be made in Key West. There is the typical street entertainment, guitar players, jugglers on unicycles, sword swallowers, a funny cat show, and others. It is changing though. Many of the regulars have left the island, but there are still absolutely breathtaking sunsets.

[@gazoontight]

The so-called southernmost point is really just the southernmost point accessible by the public. There is a point of land that is further to the south but it is on military property.

[@craigmortimer8031]

maybe in 500 yrs the world wont need a military and the world people can walk among these ancient military bases in peace highly unlikely though

[@TheHoustonTraveler]

Dry tortugas NP is the best place for snorkeling and scuba diving. Unspoiled nature and away from light pollution if one is into camping. I encourage people to visit this national park or any national/ state parks and learn about history and conservation. The best value for your $190 via the Yankee Ferry, breakfast and lunch is served, and a free mask and snorkel rental(or about 185 if you have the NP pass) if you plan ahead. They only take about 140 visitors per day for the ferry ride. Taking the seaplane might be a rip off? Since it costs ~$600 RT, but it offers the best views and you arrive in about 45 min.

[@hannahpumpkins4359]

Although the ferry often encounters rough water between KY and the DT. Many time the ferry just becomes the 'puke boat from hell' with everyone seasick...

[@sakethk4184]

Thanks for the video. What about adventure tours like Fury Adventure Tours ? They are charging $198 for 6 hours.

That is Sargasso, more seaweed than algae. In the Atlantic, there is a gyre that makes this stuff thick, and the probable cause of the "Bermuda Triangle" ship losses of the past. I have been here for 30 years and probably the worst year I have seen it, but it is every year. What is cool is that when it is at sea, it is an ecosystem. I have bought sea horses, fancy mini shrimp, turtles, and fish fry. I use to look for it to dive to get specimens for my fish tank. It was all the way up the coast and it dose stink!

[@JustMeMN]

I have been to Key West several times. The only rip off/scams I seen were fishing charters, where you pay for the boat, but then you are expected to pay large tips so the crew gets paid. I do agree with the shirts, cosmetics and art, total scams. Everything else is just expensive.

[@Womenlovefishpics]

Every fishing charter you are expected to tip.

[@jameshines6486]

Don't pay the tip. Not your responsibility. The charter is ripping you off as soon as you sign up anyways. The people working on the boats are gangster who have homeboys robbing you while your fishing.

My wife and I enjoyed both the Hemingway home and the Butterfly sanctuary. We brought our own cash and didn’t have to use an ATM. The tourist shops along Duvall are just regular shops you have seen many times before. If you want a $50 t shirt then buy it. We stayed at the Hilton Hotel and utilized the hotel’s hourly transit bus ( drop off beside sloppy joes). Never had to pay for parking. I like cigars, and only saw what I call junk cigars being sold. Bring your own cigars. I did not see the cigar rollers in action.

[@bobs1130]

Lots of cigar rollers in shops around Mallory Square, but they're more of a novelty item, or as you say, junk cigars. I love the butterfly sanctuary! Also, if you're into history, they have Truman's Little White House and for pirate lovers, Mel Fisher's Treasures is kinda neat. If you want a clean, quiet beach, Fort Zachary Taylor is it. Everything there is absolutely expensive!

@@networth00 Hello, my wife just told me it was the Double Tree Resort by Hilton Hotel Grand. If you look on Google Earth, this Hilton is very near and just North of the airport in Key West. We only spent one night there. Most of our time was spent walking around the city. I like walking. You can see most everything from the central location of Sloppy Joes Bar. The hotel shuttle is hourly and picks up and delivers from that central location. Some of the real locals I met recommended restaurants off the regular tourist area, for best value and excellent food. We were not in town long enough to discover these eateries. I believe the shuttle service ends at 11:00 pm. If you go with this hotel, please call ahead and make sure the shuttle service is still active. The driver had a “tip jar” by the door. Most everyone dropped some cash into it. The tip was not mandatory. Have an excellent trip!

[@gonzowithseanzo2751]

Mallory square sunsets are priceless!!!!!! Whenever life gets heavy, i get on a plane and land in Lauderdale and take that beautiful ride through the keys. ALWAYS RENT A JEEP OR HIGH VEHICLE SO YOU CAN SEE OVER THE JERSEY BARRIERS. Take some side streets and pick up a cheap lawn chair to just randomly pull over and soak up the beauty. Hit "babys coffee" robys and all the other stops. Ive landed directly into key west however ive done the drive through the keys probably around 100 times. I prefer the ride. ✌️

Pier house is fantastic right on the water by all of the bars and shopping. The blue opal is also right where all the action is too. Try to squeeze in a sunset cruise also. If I'm traveling alone Theres quite a few airbnbs and I always stay in the one behind the"worlds smallest bar" I will be looking to buy somewhere around ft Lauderdale in about 15 months.

I've lived here for 13 years. The reason it costs so much to park is because there is no place to park and most people come here to get drunk. That is why we have so many taxi's and Ubers. Leave your car at the hotel. There are no Chase ATM's here and Well's Fargo charges a higher transaction fee than most of the random ATM's, they just don't let you withdraw more than like 100 bucks. There are several shops that say everything is $5 and they are, it's something convenient like a beach towel or a T-shirt that you will use once and throw away. The fake cosmetic shops got shut down like 3 years ago by protestors. Hemingway house is awesome and I don't even know how to read.

Take the Ferry from Marco Island, Naples, or Ft Myers.

[@laural5177]

I have taken a seaplane to Fort Jeff that's cheaper than the ferry. The drinking water in Key West is awful. It travels almost 200 miles from Biscayne aquifer through pipes and sometimes during emergencies they desalinate. Malory square I love the cat man.

[@MrMeadfoot]

Yup, stay well away from the tap water !

The real Hemmingway museum was the Compleate Angler in Bimini..sadly it burned down in 2006.

Nice Hella!

[@nelsonfernandez7473]

Don't worry, soon they will put up a toll from homestead stretch to key largo, they don't even have free boat ramps, and barely any you can rent

Good vid. I went to Key West on a cruise last Dec. Didn't need parking, hotel, or food. Not paying $190 for any excursion any where, or more than about 20 bucks for a t-shirt. I did wait in line to get a pic at the "southern most point". We had a good time.

[@wookie4159]

Cause only SFranciscan saids Hella...i been to Key West. I had a lovely time. Beautiful place. I lost 10 lbs walking around. I didnt drive around. You better off taking lyft or uber. I believe i spend 150 for a week. 30 dollars a day....

One of the best cities to visit in FL and the US. It’s a very safe city, if the host doesn’t like it, he’s free to leave!

Hello from Texas , I m planning a vacation to Key west and dry tortugas, do I need just to take my Driver's license with me? Do you have immigration check points?

[@brooksd.cunningham8935]

Maybe if you look like an illegal immigrant, otherwise your good to go haha

[@jessicajewell5884]

Stellar video. Thank you for sharing this! I'm planning a trip here and this helps me out tremendously.

[@Erock-bs9ur]

The keys in general are not great for beaches. They are great for all other water activities like diving, snorkeling, boating and fishing. The southernmost point marker is a victim of instagram. Never had lines 5+ years ago. Also, Publix has green key lime pie and it's delicious.

[@gregoryhunt1142]

BEACHES ? ALL CREATED RECENTLY !

[@networth00]

How long can it take to snap a dang picture? This new generation ruins everything.

[@rickhiggins]

Why in the world would you expect beaches ANYWHERE in the Florida Keys? Regardless of smell. Beaches don't exist here. Go up to Miami for those.

[@michellesouthflorida9682]

Miami is insane. South Beach is a mess and crime ridden now. Better off going to Hollywood Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. Way more tourist friendly (and family friendly) plus you have the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino close by for a day visit of gambling etc...

[@commonsense8012]

That Key Lime pie is all marange topping

[@HereBeBarr]

Jay 10/10 on looking like a lost tourist 😂😅😂 but seriously great tips and tricks. So many rip offs in Key West.

[@Jaycation]

Its the bucket Hat!

[@HenryAllenKW]

[@Kayakmom9]

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

[@Jaycation]

Thanks brooooo

[@lloydbonifide]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! you divulged my hidden free parking spot in Key West!!! Cut it out!!!!

[@workouts7108]

Lol, me too. I almost cried watching that.

[@carolynsteele9929]

Is this city any different than any other tourist destinations in the US?

[@PamelaGilmore-yk5we]

I have been to Key West several times and in fact going again over Memorial day weekend! Too much fun! I don't wait in line to take a pic at the southernmost point in Key West..you can easily sneak a side shot in quickly.. Yes, make sure you have some cash or plan on using a debit/credit card for purchases which most every place accepts.. Mallory square is awesome..don't miss it! Plan on using Uber/Lyft or the free key West bus...which goes all the way around the island! Also, don't do the zoo...you will probably be disappointed....instead do the Fury glass bottom boat tour.. You will not be disappointed.. Well worth it! DO have breakfast/lunch at Blue Heaven Cafe.. You will not be dissapointed! Food is phenomenal..be prepared to wait though..but it is well worth it! DO go to Kermits and have breakfast...crepes and pancakes are the best!

[@wookie4159]

Fort Jefferson. Its beautiful... me and wife went on a plane. The sitr was beautiful

[@brooksd.cunningham8935]

Ohhh Sea Plane, Mr Money Bags over here lol.

[@dnnsmrgn]

Allegiant Air has best prices , I fly from Asheville NC to Key West for $44 sometimes a little more depends on Holidays. But I do know they jack it up for Fantasy Fest.$$$$$$

[@rickyrickardo8347]

Thanks
