The Fabulous Gay and Lesbian Destination

"Key West."
Say it slowly, softly. Do you hear the breeze? Can you feel the sun? Smell the jasmine? Sense the history? Hear the soft lap of water on the shore?


Yes, it's a tropical paradise, but Key West is much, much more. For nearly two centuries, it's been an outpost in the American Caribbean where all types of people — artists, sailors, writers, wreckers, gays and straights — have lived together in relative harmony. It's unlike anywhere else, really. The official city motto is "One Human Family." Lesbians and gays live open, out lives as an integral part of the fabric of the town, not separated by neighborhoods or ideology, but joined by a common concern for the community we call home.

One Human Family
Rainbow flag

Visit us, and you'll sense this, too. From the rainbow flags flown all over town to the smiles of welcome from residents, you'll feel at home regardless of your politics or persuasion.

There's a certain sexiness about the island, enhanced by bodies bared to the sun's warmth and fragrances floating through the midnight air. It's a unique place that combines an idyllic climate with first-class hospitality, world-class culture, and exciting activities on and in the water. You can spend your days lounging poolside in a legendary guesthouse, snorkeling in our crystal-clear waters or biking through historic neighborhoods, and your nights dining on fine cuisine, enjoying live music and theatre, or dancing under the stars. From diving, to shopping, to sightseeing, to fishing, to doing nothing at all, Key West has exactly what you need to enjoy a fulfilling yet relaxing vacation.

Come share our little world where differences provide color, not conflict; where you're free to be exactly who you are; where the climate and environment create an undeniable paradise. Come and see for yourself why Key West has been voted "Favorite Resort Town" for two years running by the readers of OUT Traveler magazine. Learn more from the Key West Business Guild.
