Sloppy Joe’s will lower the Queen Conch Shell at the stroke of midnight to ring in 2010.

Now the Conch Shell is a six-foot Queen Conch, proudly standing twenty feet atop the roof of Sloppy Joe’s Bar.
Join the party crowd on New Year’s Eve at Sloppy Joe’s as they ring in the New Year with dancing, party favors, beads, and The Juliano Brothers performing live on stage at 10pm.
Join us “Conchs” for a fabulous New Year’s Eve celebration.

The Schooner Wharf Bar presents its original New Year’s Eve tradition, the “Lowering of the Pirate Wench” from a 100-foot high mast of the tall ship Halie and Mathew docked in front of the popular waterfront watering hole.
The crew will lower the pirate wench, Evalena Worthington, co-owner of Schooner Wharf, against large illuminated countdown numbers until the stroke of midnight where “2010” will light up to launch the new decade.
The fun starts early with live music from Michael McCloud and Friends, followed by island rhythms and steel drums of Toko Irie and Yban Agbo, and then from 10:00 pm till late party with the funk of Biscuit Miller and the Mix.

To say that Key West, Florida is a beautiful place is like saying too much beer will get you drunk. The view alone is enough reason to call Key West awesome.
Home to the largest coral reefs in the United States, Key West offers wonderful views of ocean life. And, as an added bonus, the area boasts the most bars per capita of any other place in the U.S.
Located in historic old town, and stretching out on a secluded and quiet corner of the island, Southernmost on the Beach is just steps away from the excitement of Key West and all the Duval Street activities.
This resort property features an intimate sandy beach, complimentary beach chairs, free parking, Wi-Fi and no resort fees. For your enjoyment there are three pools, a fitness center, a friendly concierge, tanning pier, and oceanfront dining.
These ladies called us on our Key West Finest custom vacation line (866-990-8700) from the ad in our guide that they had picked up on their drive down to Key West.
We found them a hotel, told them of discounted sunset cruise tickets and mentioned a fun contest we call “A Key West Finest Amazing Chase”.
They called back the next day for more information on the cruise tickets and to enter the contest.
We gave them an assignment to find this sand sculpture somewhere on the island and to text us if they needed clues, which they did. They proceeded to scour Key West and ask locals for help in finding the landmark.
We texted back and forth and finally gave them a map location from our Key West Finest map.
