Girlfriends Getaways To Key West

Hello, girls. You want to give it a go? Whether you're up for a progressive road trip or flying in for a few days, the southernmost point of our United States is the place for girls who want to have sun! There's lots to be said for our very walkable, southernmost island, so pack up your girlies and enjoy some of our favorite tropical treats through shopping, dining, dancing, and adventures. You've already got a friend in Key West — our Concierge Cindy. She's experienced, friendly and super knowledgeable in ways to elevate your Key West experiences.

Cars are few and speed limits are low, so set your own pace to enjoy our natural paradise, its cool architecture, hip and happy hangouts, and the local characters you'll meet along the way. Concierge Cindy can even arrange for your bikes to be delivered to your vacation rental. There's no shortage of bike paths and trails with lots of great choices, styles and experience levels.  

If you like things even more easy, laid back and with no sweat, golf carts and electric vehicles are allowed on our streets where the posted speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. Pack a cooler and a picnic basket and head for the beach. They're also very convenient when retail therapy is on your agenda. They'll help you transport all those shopping bags. A golf cart makes it easy for you to hop off for selfies and you'll find plenty of people lined up at the southernmost point buoy who are happy to snap your group's photo in exchange for you snapping theirs. Be sure to ride along the sand and palm trees of Higgs Beach on the way to historic West Martello Tower and the Key West Garden Club. White Street Pier is another great place to enjoy the views and to capture more photos.

Enter into a lush marine world of mangrove islands and patch reefs and sponge gardens by kayak. Explore our various ecosystems to meet a variety of tropical birds, rays, sport fish and more. Paddle across the Gulf of Mexico or explore creeks and shallow waters. If you'd like, experienced guides will help introduce you to our wildlife and our unique coastal environment. You can choose from morning or afternoon departures of various lengths, levels and amenities.

Pack your backpacks, grab your snorkels and head for Hurricane Hole on Stock Island. Experience a two-hour guided tour that takes you through our backcountry mangroves where you'll delight in tropical fish, sea cucumbers, sponges, sea stars and more. Make it a full day excursion with a seven-mile sailing cruise to the coral reef for snorkeling and more kayaking. This day trip includes a continental breakfast, a full buffet lunch and afternoon snacks. There's even post-snorkeling sangria, beer and wine to savor.

Key West is already out there in more ways than one, but don't let that curb your sense of adventure. The Dry Tortugas are a group of islands located about 70 miles from the end of the Keys. It's a Bucket List paradise for secluded, exotic beaches, birding, snorkeling and more. The best times to fly over are first thing in the morning and the last flight of the afternoon. The planes are non-pressurized and fly so low scuba divers can dive in the morning and fly back in the afternoon. If you prefer to stick to your sea legs, the ferry is the way to go. It's a high-speed, state-of-the-art catamaran with daily service.

Experience the magic of our sunsets without the crowds. Opt for a popular cruise that includes live music with lots of tropical food and drink. There are also small group sailings with wine and cheese pairings, champagne tastings and specialty cocktail menus.

Key West is fortunate to have a vibrant arts and crafts community. This is a place where you'll want to pop some tags on very desirable one-of-a-kind fashion and decor items. Take some of our lifestyle home with you. There's no judgment if that includes a box of hand-rolled cigars. You'll still look very cute in that sweet little sundress with handmade earings, too.

How fun is dining in Key West? We've got sweet tasting pink shrimp, royal reds, conch fritters, spiny lobster, Cuban food, and lots of french flair. Concierge Cindy can arrange your fine dining options and there's plenty of cuisine to celebrate a more relaxed style, as well. We already know you'll want to try the best Key Lime Pie and we know right where to send you!

Even if you overindulge in Key West's very indulgent night life, let the sounds and the scents of the ocean help you recover from a night on the town or rehydrate your sun toasted skin. You can choose from a full complement of skin, hair and nail services in a zen setting. And, if you're tired of walking all over Key West, try a spa service that walks on you. Concierge Cindy can reserve the perfect Ashiastu massage for you and your gal pals.
