Review & FAQ:

Next time you visit the Florida Keys, you can head due south to Key West, where you can take some brag-worthy photos of yourself at the Southernmost Point monument, which (supposedly) marks the most southern tip of the Continental (excluding Hawaii and some other islands) USA. Unfortunately, the message on the marker is not quite the truth as some other points on Key West Island lie further south, but these are located inside the Key West Naval Air Station, which is off-limits to tourists. Nevertheless, the monument is an interesting place to visit and is surrounded by a collection of hotels, bars, restaurants, and other tourist attractions.
