Key West is a tourist rape trap. It’s turning into a Peter Pan fantasy world, sadly. The whole “nature beauty” Gaia thing hinges to that “travesty” and deviancy of making the creation a god.
Really people, there is no reason to drive 100s of miles to Key West. It’s a pretty place, but not worth the hassle.
Trust me. Take your vacation elsewhere. There are prettier places without the loons.
Central FL has some awesome mineral springs. I found one near Ocala. 200’ down through crystal clear water seeing the bottom, 70deg. water on a hot summer day, was awesome. Wish I could recall the name of the county park where it was.
