Local time UTC-4Checked 0 viewsHDOther

This live camera looks out over The Reach, a stretch of water at the southern tip of Florida's Key West island chain. It suits anyone wondering how the sea looks in the Keys before heading out, or who simply enjoys seeing the Atlantic and Gulf waters from a distance.

About Key West

Key West is the westernmost island of the Florida Keys, a chain of low coral islands linked by the Overseas Highway. The town is known for its Caribbean-style architecture, its relaxed pace and its position at the southernmost point of the continental United States. The surrounding waters are shallow, warm and clear, which is why boating, snorkeling and fishing are central to life here.

What the camera shows

The view is of open water, and the exact scene depends on the tide, wind and cloud cover of the moment. Calm mornings often bring flat, glassy water, while afternoons with trade winds tend to produce more movement and whitecaps. Sunrise and sunset are the most popular times to watch, when light on the water changes quickly. Storm season from June to November can bring rough seas worth checking.

Practical tips

Key West has a tropical climate with hot, humid summers and mild, dry winters, so the most comfortable months for visiting are usually December through April. Much of the town is walkable, and bikes or scooters are a popular way to get around. Nearby cameras on this site include the Southernmost Point, Casa Marina and Nine One Five, useful if you want to compare different spots on the island.
