Featured Key West through Instagram Photos

I’ve been playing with instagram a lot in my spare time since coming to Key West, so I thought it would be fun to put together a collection of the photos I’ve taken in order to give you a view of this place through the lens of instagram filters. Some look like postcards, others are just funny, but most capture what an awesome place Key West turned out to be.

I got here expecting it to be a ultra-touristy, expensive vegas-like craphole, but I was pleasantly surprised by all the nice neighborhoods, accessible beaches, explorable keys, and there’s even boat punks to hang out with on occasion.

Let me know what you think about the photos, and if you’d like to follow me on instagram, hit me up at:

great pics and thanks for sharing!!!
question any problems with the local cops?? after talking to some van dwellers that were in FL it seems to be a hit or miss with the local cops..
 
I love those little aliens or whatever that are hidden all over the island. That kid gets up. I used to just walk around looking for them. Is that first one in duval? I miss the keys bad

The island of Key West is so small I would imagine you'd have a hard time van dwelling there without getting noticed.

I lived on a boat so we almost never had any encounters with the police.
 
Lovely! Florida is last on my list of places I want to visit... But it looks like you had a great time.

The starfish is actually a Brittle Star, which is a close relative. They are more active hunters.
