"The Conch Republic" Key West by frankcanfly


Key West Travel Guide: 2,458 reviews and 3,814 photos

My brother and I at the Southern most point in the Contiguous United States.


We are hungover

If you are looking for a mature, respectable version of Mardi Gras, without the crime, danger and utter insanity, you need to go to Key West during Fantasy Fest!!!!

It is held during the last week of October. It's all done in the Halloween spirit, with costumes and such....

I know what you are thinking; 'why am I looking at the camera??'

Isn't it great when you are eating at a waterfront cafe, and a boat full of Nudists sails past???

What would you do?

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Always something exciting going on in the Conch Republic
  • In a nutshell:Keep your mind open

    Yeah, the last time we were there we ran into a boat of buck naked people too. :-) My dogs WOULD NOT stop barking at them, it was quite strange.
