Getting to Latitudes requires a five-minute ferry ride from downtown Key West — and it is absolutely worth it. Perched on the private island of Sunset Key just a few hundred yards offshore, this elegant beachfront restaurant and bar offers indoor and al fresco dining with uninterrupted Gulf of Mexico views that make everything taste better. The menu leans fresh and locally sourced — fish caught that morning, tropical fruit, hand-crafted cocktails at the outdoor beach bar. Dress code is upscale resort casual. Reservations required. Advance planning rewarded. A vacation within a vacation, with arguably the best views on the island.
