The Southernmost Point Buoy is a concrete landmark painted like a buoy that marks the southernmost point of the continental United States. Located at the corner of Whitehead Street and South Street, it's a popular photo spot for visitors. The buoy is often surrounded by a line of tourists waiting for their turn. Despite being a quick stop, it offers a sense of geographic significance and a connection to Cuba, which lies just 90 miles away. It's a quintessential Key West experience.
