Key West is one of the older cities in the United States and that history is especially reflected around it’s old waterfront region.  There are several older buildings here, like the above featured U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, now a shopping arcade.<\/p>\n

The old waterfront reminds me a little of San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Warf.  There are quirky attractions like the Shipwreck Treasures Museum, which includes a viewing platform that is one of the tallest points in Key West.<\/p>\n
