The Key West Lighthouse is located in Key West, Miami, opposite the Hemingway House. It is a popular local check-in spot. The lighthouse can be clearly seen from Hemingway's house. When I visited the former residence, it was closed. It is important to manage your time.

There are not many people on the beach, it's nice to enjoy the sea breeze and listen to music quietly.
