Our Visit to the Southernmost Point

The Southernmost Point Buoy is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Key West and a must-see stop for first-time visitors. Marking the southernmost point of the continental United States, the colorful concrete buoy has become a symbol of the island and attracts visitors from around the world.

Located just 90 miles from Cuba, the landmark offers a fun photo opportunity and a chance to stand at one of America's most unique geographic locations. It's common to find a line of visitors waiting for photos, but the experience moves quickly and is well worth the brief wait.

While the buoy itself is a relatively quick stop, its location in Old Town makes it easy to combine with nearby attractions, restaurants, and scenic walks. No trip to Key West feels complete without snapping a photo at this iconic landmark.
