I am NOT a travel agent, this page is just intended to give you some ideas of things to do in Key West.
Traveling on Florida Turnpike, and toll roads you will most likely need a Sun Pass (prepaid toll program). The Sun Pass Mini seems to do the job fine. You can order one online at www.sunpass.com once you have received it you can activate it online or by phone (1-888-865-5352). The pass goes on the windshield of your vehicle. To purchase you mini Sun Pass go to the website.
I have added some links, for your information.
Approaching Key West by car means traveling south on A1A (= US1) and passing 42 bridges, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean at your left side and the Gulf of Mexico at your right. One of the 42 bridges is the seven mile bridge, and when you see it twice, don't worry about your eyes! The left one is "old seven mile", now a historic landmark and no longer open for traffic. The middle picture below shows Old Bahia Honda Bridge. Bahia Honda was voted to have one of the most beautiful beaches in Florida. Check out the web site below and see the weather.

In old town Key West you'll find the the southernmost point of continental USA, on famous Duval Street alone approximately 40% of Key West's more than 200 bars and restaurants, and beautiful conch houses all over the city. By the way: Come as you are! You don't have to bring fine clothes and ties to get in to the finest places in Key West. "Shoes and shirt required" - that's it.

In the mood for fine dining? Favoring American, Italian, Cuban, German, Caribbean, Thai, Japanese, French, whatever cuisine? Key West's the place for you! You can look at a bunch of menus right here, and sometimes even make reservations from there:

With tons of sunshine, where are the beaches? Though the Keys generally not being famous for long sandy beaches, Key West has three major beaches: Smathers (where Kokomo is located), Higgs, and Fort Zachary Taylor.
Fort Zackary Taylor Beach Smathers Beach
Water sports? Name your favorite! And from your balcony, the girls waiting the booth of "Sunset WaterSports" are in shouting distance. May be you get so excited about the parasailing going on in front of your nose, that you'll give it a try yourself?
Boating, fishing, sailing, snorkeling? A day trip to the Great Barrier Reef or to historic Fort Jefferson? Sure! And if you'd like to bring your own boat, no problem! One of the Marinas will be happy to take care of it.
And in case you don't like to get your feet wet: What about a biplane ride, boarding one of the glass bottom boats or relaxing on a sightseeing tour with the Conch Tour Train?
Then, what else is around? Just in case it gets boring ... Okay, Key West has a lot, but there's some more around, just about within one hour's flight from Key West.
