No Experience Required

The tour begins where the island wakes: outside a small Cuban sandal shop, the scent of leather and citrus in the air, a guide in a straw hat holding an iPad and a promise of stories. From that plaza you step off the tourist map and onto narrow streets that still move at Key West’s own unhurried pace. Palmettos lean over clapboard houses, paint peels in bright, stubborn colors, and the ocean waits in the distance—constant, insistently nearby.
