#5 Key West (Florida)
One of the greatest places to visit if you want to travel to the Caribbean without departing the United States is Key West. You can expect the same tropical climate with clear blue skies, palm trees, plenty of sunshine, stunning beaches, and an island-style relaxed atmosphere here.
Key West’s vibrant nightlife, which is year-round, won’t let partygoers down. However, it also has a lot to offer the general public, including art galleries, stores, and lovely palm-lined avenues dotted with gingerbread palaces and tin-roofed conch houses that once housed writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Tennessee Williams, Robert Frost, and Jimmy Buffet. The home of Ernest Hemingway is a recognized cultural landmark and museum.
Golf, fishing, scuba diving, and other water activities are popular daytime pursuits. Every evening, Mallory Square has a sunset festival when jugglers, animal acts, and tightrope walkers dance shortly before the sun goes down into the Gulf of Mexico.
