Key West, FL Southernmost Point

:(Help, going to be in Key West on March 31st on Carnival Conquest, anyone know the walking distance between the ship dock and the Southernmost point??:confused: Thanks and happy crusing.:eek:

It's probably a mile to a mile and a half. The entire island is only 2 miles x 4 miles, so it would be 2 mile max. It's not a bad walk. You can walk down Duval looking in all the shops and galleries. Turn right on Olivia St and go one block to Whitehead. On that corner will be Hemmingways house and gardens, which is definitely worth touring. Across the street is the light house. You can go to the top if you want a great view of the island. From the sidewalk you can look down the street and see Southernmost Point several blocks down. It that is too far to walk for some members of your party, The Old Town Trolley Tour is definitely worth the money. You can ride it cheaper not booking through the cruise line. They will give you an informative tour and you can get off where you like and get back on when the next trolley comes along.

 

Hope this helps. Have fun!

Been awhile, but sounds about right.

It can be very hot already at the end of March, and will seem worse if you're comming from the cold north. I vote trolley.

We will be on the same cruise. Please come over and join our roll call if you haven't already. My husband and father will be deep sea fishing. My DM, DD, and myself will be just walking around shoping taking in the sites. We hope to see the Hemingway House and the Southern Most point.

We were just there last month - we took the trolley, actually stayed on it until the Southernmost Point stop, and walked back to the ship from there (as we had a 1:00 tour). We did stop at the Blonde Giraffe for a piece of pie too.

:pThanks for this information. Will probably do the trolley there and walk back to the ship eating key lime pie along the way. Happy crusing!!!:o

Old Town Trolley cost is $26.10 if purchased on-line....Key lime pie on a stick dipped in chocolate is $4.95 @ Blond Giraffe

Save your money and take a taxi, about one third the cost of the trolley.

Is the trolley thing good for all day? Might not feel like walking much. Is there a website with their info on it? Thanks for the heads up!

Duval Street is only a mile and a quarter long and completely flat.

If you are able to walk go for it..Great photo ops all along the way. We did it last month and it was warm..well it seemed so after walking :)

If you get there and are tired, you can always grab a cab.
