A. Dry Tortugas – it’s fascinating to see what people could build back in the civil war days and to learn how they lived out on an island miles away from land, plus it’s pure beauty. The Conch Tour Train – Key West has so much history you don’t want to miss. And, a sunset cruise. This is the best place to see the sunset!
