TWO DELICIOUS THINGS that I’ll never tire of in Key West…great food and live music. Both are found in abundance in this town! It’s been a whirlwind three months here in the Southernmost point of the United States and we have enjoyed every moment being welcomed into this tropical town while soaking in the island breezes. But seriously, if you’re looking for great food and music anytime of day or night, this is your town!
We moved from Boyd’s Campground, a sweet, vintage, family-run establishment at Mile 5 (from Key West center) to the sparkling, brand new KOA at Mile 20 for our final month. The Sugarloaf KOA has been completely rebuilt and opened in 2021 after being swept away by Hurricane Irma in September 2017. KOA hit it out of the park as the resort offered its own island hospitality with a beautiful pool and hot tub, an Airstream bar, evening entertainment, eco boat tours, kayak rentals and friendly staff. This campground surely reigns supreme in the KOA portfolio and is worth a stay.
To experience Key West, grab a campsite at Boyd’s which is an easy bike ride or short Uber ride to town. To relax and soak up the sea, Sugarloaf KOA is a good bet!
The time has come (too soon) to say good-bye to my Happy Place, my very own island bubble, as we now begin our journey north. Somehow, knowing reservations are already made for a return visit makes leaving this tropical paradise just a little bit easier.

It’s too bad you didn’t get a chance to enjoy Key West before the cruise ship industry brought 900,000+ passengers ashore each year. It was truly a magical place. Enjoy your travels.
