I was there last in the offseason 2 or 3 years ago.Wife and I spent a Friday night and day Saturday. It was our first nighttime experience. We wanted to see the sunset celebration at commercial warf. Well, it was the first day of some festival or another. The sunset celebration was over rated, but then a parade down Duval and it went down hill from there. Very hedonistic. And lots of alternative lifestyles. We had a great time, but that is a place I as a dad would not even be comfortable with my adult daughters at.
I did appreciate the fresh coconut cut open and hit with a shot of rum and pineapple the next morning at the smallest bar in Key West on Saturday. Great hangover cure. Saturday was definitely child safe during the day. We hit the museums, etc. Saw the southernmost point, end of rt 1. etc. We never made it out to the fort at Tortuga.
