Key lime pie is one of my all-time favorites, and, true to name, you have no shortage of options when traveling around the Florida keys.

We made it our mission to try as many Key lime pies as we could, from Key Largo to Key West, and certainly ate our fill during our three short days in the area.

But while we could talk about all of the Key lime pies we sampled in this one, instead, we wanted to focus on our three favorites. The best of the best. The Key lime pies we still dream about. The places where you’ll want to immediately order a second slice. The kind of place that I would feel sad if anyone missed- they’re just that good.

So if you’re looking for Key lime pie perfection, do not miss these three staples in the Florida Keys!

When it comes to choosing where to stay in Key West, you have many options all over the island. 

But if you’re looking for higher-end amenities while being centrally located, one hotel is really had to beat- Opal Key Resort & Marina. This one comes together with great amenities, stellar views, and easy access to the sunset lookouts and business district that Key West is famous for.

While it is easy to simply want to book this one for its location, guests may want to be mindful when selecting a room. You may wake up to a view of a giant cruise ship outside your window depending on where you are!
