Key West eh? We stay in Key Colony Beach every year, its about.... 30 minutes north of Key West on Key Marathon. that's a short stay man, I usually am down there for 2 weeks or more. The water at the shoreline is nice, but the real impressive color is about 20 miles out when you get over the reefs. It's a DEEEEEEEEEP turqoise emerald color it's ridiculous. I am going down with a female friend this august, I can't wait to get some good pictures!
