3) Explore The Bar Scene On Duval Street
Consider a night on Duval Street the crown in any bachelorette party’s crown! Considered the commercial zone of downtown Key West, Duval Street runs north to south from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean.

Tiki House

While a champagne toast may be in store for the upcoming wedding, a bachelorette party in Key West is all about rum! Be sure to order a round of rum runners for the whole party. Considered the signature drink of Key West, the rum runner combines rum, banana liqueur, blackberry liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice, and grenadine.
4) Visit The Southernmost Point Buoy
Here’s a great idea for a Key West bachelorette party photo with the whole group!
A landmark called the Southernmost Point Buoy is an anchored concrete buoy that’s located at the corner of South Street and Whitehead Street marks the southernmost point in the continental United States!
Located at 19 feet above sea level, the painted buoy is a popular attraction that lets visitors pose at the lowest latitude land of the contiguous North American states while looking out at the 90-mile stretch of water that separates the United States from Cuba.
5) Have A Brunch To Remember In Key West
The best brunch experience in Key West is hiding in a restaurant tucked away in a private, luxury resort called Opal Key Resort.
Housed behind the resort on Front Street, offer an elegant and pampered beachfront dining experience where you can enjoy a late-morning feast of French toast made with thick-cut challah bread, Key lime custard with banana, toasted coconut flakes, and fresh lime zest!
Brunch guests can also nibble on crab Benedict, Sicilian quail eggs, omelets, mimosas, fresh-squeezed juice, cappuccino, espresso, and more!
6) Attend A Giant Pool Party
Key West is one of the only places where you can jump in a pool with hundreds of other partygoers you’ve never met before during an epic pool party! It all goes down at a place called Dante’s Key West Pool Bar & Restaurant.
Have a fun time as you jump into a huge swimming pool with a cascading waterfall. Grab a cold drink by the pool at a tiki bar, dance along to the DJ, or snag a table to munch on stone crabs, lobster, oysters, and more fresh seafood from the menu.
7) Bring Your Key West Bachelorette Party To The Beach
One idea for a bachelorette party Key West visitors should not overlook is a simple beach day! If you don’t feel like trekking a long distance in the sand, make plans to hang out at South Beach.
