Miami To Key West Cruise

Harry Truman isn't the only famous person to have stayed at Key West. The American literary genius Ernest Hemingway also lived and worked at Key West. The Spanish Colonial house he brought in 1931 still stands. He lived in the home till 1940. The house serves as a museum to his life and works now. Hemingway wrote some of his most famous novels here such as "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and "A Farewell to Arms". The home also contains a tropical garden that Hemingway maintained. There is also a saltwater pool which Hemingway claimed that nearly pushed him into bankruptcy. His so-called 'last penny' can still be seen pressed into the pool's concrete. Hemingway was also known for his housecat called Snow White which had six toes. He raised that cat lovingly. The descendants of those housecats can still be found on the property.

If you are searching for a beach that can offer you tranquility then you should head over to the beach in Matheson Hammock. It is quite beautiful. However, it does not attract many crowds. That is perfect when you need some peace and quiet. The beach also features a man-made lagoon. As a result, the waters around this beach are rather calm. The waters are, therefore, safe enough for children. The seclusion makes it easier to keep an eye on your kids. However, the winds are strong enough for kiteboarding which is an activity you should try out when you are here. .Sunny Isle Beach
