We've put together this detailed gay guide to Key West to include our experience trying out the best gay hotels, partying in the bars/clubs, inspiration for things to do, and more. We've been to Key West several times and always had a ball on each visit. There are so many things to do here with a really exciting gay scene along Duval Street. Key West even has an official motto of “ One Human Family“.

This has allowed Key West to thrive as a mixed haven for an eclectic blend of people ranging from Native Americans, Spanish, freed slaves, pirates, and of course, the LGBTQ community. Historically it's always been different, helped by the fact that it is the southernmost point of the USA mainland, slightly cut off from the rest of Florida. Just another business closing in the D I guess.
