TidePride Posted March 4, 2012 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Is the walk from the ship to the southern most point a very long walk? I am trying to decide if we should book one of the trolley services. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted March 4, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It is 1.3 miles straight down Whitehead St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted March 4, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2012 It would be a nice walk but may take you a while depending on how many cruise ships are in that day. I would book the Old Town Trolley or the Conch Tour Train. It is quite reasonable. Plus you can hop on and hop off at different points. Very nice way to see Key West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always cabs sitting just in front of the Westin there at the pier so you'll have an easy time getting one. Only problem is that there might be a long wait at the Southernmost Buoy so you might not want to have to pay for a cab to wait for you. The walk is a nice one along a tree-lined street. Even if there are several ships in at the same time, there aren't as many people on Whitehead as there are on Duval. It should only take you about 15 minutes to get there & then 15 back. But again, there might be a long line if you want to have your picture taken with you beside the buoy. No professional photo takers there, but always someone in line with you that will gladly take your photo if you will agree to take theirs. Enjoy Key West. I love it there. Been 7 years in a row & going again this May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smatheson Posted March 19, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Cary, would you mind shooting me an email? smatheson@allwest.net I just saw that you have been Key West 7 years in a row and would love some personalized input and advice for our family from someone so familiar with the area. If anyone else has been to this port, or Nassau, or Castaway Cay a lot before, I would love your inputs as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivavegas Posted March 28, 2012 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks for the info. I had no idea exactly where the point was located. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mebfalcon Posted March 30, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm guessing it's easily marked how to get there. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhopal21 Posted March 30, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm guessing it's easily marked how to get there. Am I right? If you just walk down Whitehead Street it will dead end at the point. It you are arriving on a cruise ship you will be give a map highlighting the attractions around town as you disembark. Mike:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
