Synopsis

The ultimate getaway destination, a.k.a. the famed southernmost point of the United States, Key West offers visitors spectacular lodging, dining, and sea adventures year-round. But as its devotees know, it's the island's tales, over-the-top characters, and quirky history of pirates and wreckers that give it its charm. With stunning images by Missy Janes, photographer for Pineapple Press’ Palm Beach, this book is a visual journey around the island capturing its teeming life and storied past—from the sunset show on Mallory Square, to the haunted Civil War forts, and the revered Hemingway House, as well as stops along the "Duval Crawl" and iconic eateries like Louie's Backyard and Blue Heaven. And then there are the miles of beaches, epic fishing flats, and marine sanctuaries. The ideal keepsake for visitors, wedding guests and all who cherish the free-spirited island getaway.
