There are a select number of Key West blogs which are
essential reading for preparing and researching for a visit to Key West.
Unfortunately, there are quite a few poor, old, crappy blogs about KW. And only very few good ones! Here’s my view on which are the best Key West blogs.
Key West Blogs that give a flavor of the place
#1 - Key West diary by Conchscooter
The best Key West blog. Conchscoter has been doing a daily photo blog (which is an amazing and very time consuming commitment) since 2007 and it's very good with lots and lots and lots of images of Key West and the lower Keys.
Key West Visitor Guide
Obviously, I hope you like this blog - http://keywestlookout.blogspot.com/ [my blog, this blog you are reading now!]
Key West Travel Blog
Regularly updated and lots of pictures - a good blog.
The Key Wester
Regularly updated by Genn, the Key West concierge, a good local perspective, particularly good on restaurant reviews.
Key West Blogs that give a flavor of the people
This Week on the Island
A weekly summary of news and other bits and bobs, written by Doug Bennett. Very good.
Key West the Blog
Written weekly or so by Arthur A. Winstanley it's a highly personal, amusing and sometimes political take on Key West and other issues.
And that's them all! If I've missed any then please do let me know in the comments below.
Thank you for the kind words. It has been fun but I've teamed up with Chuck and we are off on a new blogging adventure. I'm not much good at change so I have tried to keep thekeywestlocal looking and working as much like my diary as I can. Four more years should be the refrain I suppose.
ReplyDeletehi Conchscooter. for some reason, re-found and re-reading this blog today and your comment. shame the blog with Chuck did not work out as you expected... but.... glad your own blog is back and as good as ever. here's to all us Key West bloggers!
