The Southernmost Point is thronged by people all day long clicking pictures with the monument in the backdrop. Early morning is a good time to visit the monument with less people and golden glow of the morning sun setting up an adorable color scheme. The place is close to Hemingway House, the Lighthouse Museum and the Fort Zachary Taylor Park.

The monument is done in bright colors to make it distinctively noticeable. The monument is just 90 miles from Cuba. The logo on the Conch Republic is painted on the top of the concrete structure. The Conch republic was a name acquired by Key West 20 years ago in an attempt to enhance its reputation as a fun-loving town.

The Southernmost Point is just a few blocks away from the Butterfly Pavilion. A walk from the butterfly pavilion to the monument is a pleasant one with the beautiful view of the sea in the backdrop.
