Spring into action in Key West
April and May present the ideal time to visit Key West, with a unique calendar of special events, exciting opportunities for outdoor excursions and cultural festivities. Key West in the height of spring offers something for everyone, including a laid-back, stress-free getaway in a beautiful private accommodation — and Historic Key West Vacation Rentals places you on the doorstep of it all.
The allure of nature
Far from the hustle and bustle of the mainland, Key West is known for its easy-going atmosphere, balmy breezes, turquoise waters and lively culture. April and May bring near-perfect weather — warm, sunny days and cool evenings — ideal for beach days, sunset sails and outdoor adventures.
You’ll be overwhelmed by the island’s stunning natural beauty and the myriad ways to enjoy it. Snorkeling the only living coral reef in North America at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park or Dry Tortugas National Park promises an experience you’ll never forget. With warmer temperatures and excellent visibility, spring is ideal for exploring these crystal-clear waters as you swim among tropical fish, sea turtles and vibrant coral formations in some of the most pristine waters in the Florida Keys.
Try your luck with a fishing charter alongside an experienced guide, or hire a catamaran or historic schooner for a breathtaking sail around the Gulf. For a more tranquil experience, embark on a kayaking or paddle boarding tour through the mangroves. These guided eco-tours offer a chance to see dolphins, manatees and a stunning variety of bird species while learning all about Key West’s unique ecosystems.
Find a festival
Spring is festival season in Key West, and the island revels in one-of-a-kind events, such as the Conch Republic Independence Celebration (April 18–25) and the Key West Songwriters Festival (April 30–May 4), bringing the island’s creative energy to life. Here, the true character of island life beckons, and there’s always something for everyone on offer. Keep an eye on Historic Key West Vacation Rentals’ events page here, to stay abreast of all the action.
Discover Historic Duval Street
After a day of exploring nature, no trip to Key West is complete without a stroll down world-famous Duval Street, home to lively bars, friendly locals, charming boutiques and world-class dining.
