Key West Gay and Lesbian Travel Tips

By Matt Link

  • Key West in summer is cooler than Miami. Thanks to constant ocean breezes sweeping across the island, summer temperatures rarely go over 90 degrees, with less humidity than Miami, too.
  • Book early for winter. Snowbirds flock to the island for winter high season, and many properties require a two- or three-night minimum. Prices can go through the roof.
  • If you have the time, drive. Flights take less than an hour on the extremely efficient small planes from Miami, but if you have time to spare, a three- to four-hour drive on the 159-mile Overseas Highway is a real experience.

  • What's the best vacation to take your teenager boys on? Hi, I'm looking for a trip to take my family of five on -- two teenage boys and one 11 year old girl. We like adventure, but not too much hiking. We like warm -- oh yeah, the trip would be during February break. We love St. John. Went to Belize last year.
