Southernmost Point Buoy

Highlight • Monument

The Southernmost Point is considered the southernmost point in the continental United States and is located on the last of the Florida Keys, Key West. It is located on the edge of the city of Key West in the Upper Duval district on the corner of Whitehead Street and South Street. It's only a few minutes walk to the city center.

In fact, Southernmost Point is not the southernmost point of Key West. This is located on the US Navy base next door. Because Key West is an island, the southernmost point of the continental USA is near Flamingo in the Everglades.

In October 2017, the large painted buoy that marks the southernmost point of the continental United States was restored for the final time. Before that, the buoy, which is one of the most photographed subjects in the Florida Keys, was somewhat affected by Hurricane Irma. Local artist Danny Acosta was responsible for the new painting with the help of a few other people.

On January 1, 2022, the buoy was set on fire by two men. The two vandals had placed a Christmas tree directly in front of the buoy and set it on fire, which caused it to fall onto the buoy and damage it.

St. Pauls Episcopal Church

Highlight • Religious Site

St. Paul's Episcopal Church enjoys a prominent location on Key West's busy Duval Street. But even without this enviable property, the church would be hard to miss. On sunny days, the white facade stands out brilliantly against the bright blue Key West sky. Inside, you'll find a peaceful sanctuary from the bustling city.
