About Southernmost Point Buoy
- Sight
The Southernmost Point Buoy is one of Key West’s most recognizable landmarks and a classic stop for first-time visitors and returning travelers alike. Its bold colors and oceanfront setting create a cheerful, laid-back atmosphere that reflects the easygoing spirit of the island.
This is less a traditional attraction with activities than a destination built around a single memorable experience: taking in the famous buoy and the sense of place it represents. Visitors come here for photos, the coastal breeze, and the feeling of standing at a symbolic edge of the continental United States. The surrounding neighborhood adds to the appeal, with walkable streets, historic homes, and nearby spots for food and shopping. It is a short visit, but one that captures the essence of Key West in a simple, iconic moment.
