7:30 PM Take a short ferry ride to Latitudes, one of Key West’s most romantic dining spots. Dine beachfront under swaying palms with dishes like grilled lobster tail, citrus-marinated snapper, and key lime martinis.

10:00 PM: Head to The Green Parrot Bar, a true Key West institution. Funky, unpretentious, and always buzzing, this divey gem serves up strong drinks and live music nightly. No dress code, no frills — just good vibes and great tunes. Flip-flops encouraged.
