Southernmost Point in the U.S.A. - Key West, Florida
There is a discussion here on if Key West, Florida is truly the Southernmost point of the continental U.S.A. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
The Southernmost point was originally just marked with a sign, which was often stolen. In response to this, the city of Key West erected the now famous concrete buoy in 1983. The concrete buoy is actually an old sewer junction that was dug up in the area and found too heavy and large to move, so it was painted up to look like a buoy. Today it is one of the most visited and photographed attractions in Key West, Florida.

You NEED to visit KEY WEST. USA's Southern most point. Florida Keys & Key West Travel Guide.
We spent a few days travelling the Florida Keys thanks to
We started our day at one the best known State parks in the region called Bahia Honda State Park. There are a couple of really interested things about the park, one is that the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico are just a few metres apart and you can see both at the same time. The second thing is the amazing abandoned old rail bridge that goes across the water. We took up the drone to get better shots. To find out more about the park visit here:
After this we headed to Key West to check out the nightly Sunset Celebration that takes place at Mallory Square in downtown Key West. Here you’ll find vendors, food, drinks and buskers along with an absolutely stunning sunset.
We picked things up the next day as we made our way around Key West to check out the amazing southern architecture, the many chickens, and the awesome attractions. We started off at one of the best known ones, the Hemingway House Museum where Ernest Hemingway lived during the 1930s, we also got to see many of the cats that live on the property and are descendants of Hemingway’s cats.
Before heading to our last location we checked out the southernmost point in the continental USA which can be found in Key West.
Lastly we visited the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory, which had many different species of butterflies and birds in a beautiful indoor garden.

Apparently the Southernmost Point in the Continental USA! If you look at a map, there is a more lower point, but this place has a cool marker (buoy) to take selfies with lol! We managed to park pretty easily for free in a nearby neighbourhood and for some reason, there are random chickens (feral fowls / Key West chickens!) roaming around the roads and footpaths lol!
