Come relax in our Key Lime Inn pool

February and March are a beautiful time of year in our Key West paradise because the suns rays are just warm enough to help you forget about any freezing winds back home, the sky is crystal blue, and the temperature in our pools is just right for relaxation.  Even the island’s favorite cat resident, Aurora,  is romping around town having fun. You can see what she did last night here.  Key West Six-Toed Cat Cam.

We know that the economic news has not turned around yet so we have responded by lowering our rates to make your Spring vacation break or romantic Valentine’s Day dreams beautiful this year. So come snorkel, sail, parasail, or swim in the beautiful waters off Key West. The weather is perfect for tanning.

Spring Break in Key West          March 2 – 13

Scooters in Key West

The coolest place to be for Spring Break is in the hottest island paradise in the US! Key West has a laid back vibe that’s perfect for your break from all those lit and science classes.  The waters off our beaches are amazing for diving, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, wave running and swimming. Most breakers chill at either Smather’s or Higgs Beach during the day because they have the vendors that rent the jet-skis, catamarans, parasails and even the beach chairs and umbrellas. If you have time, you could take a trip to snorkel off the Dry Tortugas coral reef. Make sure you bring heavy-duty sunscreen because our sunlight is potent. Towards evening head off to to the local bars to soak in the nightlife. Afterwards come home to your hotel room for a rest before you start all over again in the morning.

Targeting multiple species, this annual challenge starts a season-long tournament that awards certificates for outstanding catches and prizes in a host of categories. Email the director for more information director@keywestfishingtournament.com or call 305-295-6601
