Here are a few of our favorite things to do in the area - by no means a complete list!  The resort office has more information and plenty of suggestions for dining or sightseeing.

Restaurants - Close to the Resort

Mangrove Mamas

Just up the road at MM20, this is a popular locals place with a relaxed open-air atmosphere.  Steaks, seafood and pasta dishes with an island flair.

Bobalu's Southern Cafe

Just three miles from Bluewater Key, Bobalu's combines "Homestyle" southern cooking with Italian favorites for an affordable and satisfying meal.

Geiger Key

This very casual waterside bar/restaurant has good food and cold beer at prices that keep the locals coming back.  Special menus are served several days a week, including weekend barbecues and pig roasts.

Restaurants - Key West

Blue Heaven

A Key West legend.  Relaxed outdoor dining among the roosters - yes, roosters - on gourmet island cuisine with a nouvelle flair.

Pepe's

Down by the Historic Seaport waterfront, locals have been going to Pepe's for breakfast for many years.

Sightseeing

Riding Tours

For first-time visitors to Key West, there is no better way to get your bearings and understand the diversity of the island than to take a ride on the Conch Tour Train or the Old Town Trolley.  Operated by Historic Tours of America, both tours will give you an overview of the history, culture, and development of Key West.  The tour lasts about an hour and a half, and you can get on and off the Trolley at various stops around the island to explore further.

Southernmost Point

A "must-have" photo.  Not actually the southermost point on the island, but typical of many Key West icons (person or place), facts don't get in the way of fame - and a good time.

The Key West Lighthouse Museum

Not only can you climb to the top of the lighthouse for a marvelous view of the island, you can learn about what life was like for the families who lived and worked here in the late 1800s.  The exhibits also showcase the technology and construction techniques used to build the offshore lighthouses that signaled the end of the great and prosperous Wrecker's era in Key West.
