8) Key West, Florida
The island city of Key West in Florida is one of the top summer destinations for seniors. The southernmost point of the Florida Keys, Key West is only 90 miles north of Cuba. Although Key West is a well-trodden cruise ship stop, it’s much more rewarding to vacation on Key West itself rather than just dropping in for a day. Famous for its laid-back attitude and pretty pastel-colored houses, Key West is the place to be for those who want to experience a slower pace of living. Key West is known more for its world-class coral reefs than for its beaches and is one of the top destinations in the US for those who want to see first-hand what goes on beneath the surface of the sea. The delectable Cuban-inspired food is one of the main tourist draws to Key West and it can be enjoyed at any one of the hundreds of restaurants that line the island’s main beach front.
