Boyd's Key West Campground

March 1 - April 1, 2010 The waterfront sites, which "rent" at the daily rate, means no breaks for a month+ stay and almost double the (already high-priced) expense. But it is nice, yes?

The campground is a five to ten minute drive away from downtown Key West and it has its own beach. It's a tiny beach, not always accessible, but offers a good view.

We walked the waterfront a lot and often had company:

The pelicans congregate and patiently wait for a fisherman to fillet their fish (grunts, mostly, and the odd hogfish which, supposedly, tastes a little like scallops) and fling the rest to their huge gobs.

They are quiet as can be until a fishermen flings leftovers. Then it's a tug of war between as many as four birds at at time.

Sometimes we escaped to the only quiet area, the Tiki Garden. This is bipolar tiki kitty, who nuzzles up and helps to type, or just preens, or attacks a typing hand for no particular reason at all:

No tiki dogs available.

P.S. - Campers, if you're choosing an off-water site, do not book a site in the second row from the street. Anywhere else will be better, in our opinion.
