Popular Beach Town Named Florida's Best Winter Destination

Winter is around the corner! That means ski resorts are open, holiday events are underway, and people are gearing up for a busy travel season. That's why Reader's Digest compiled a list of the best winter destination in every state. Writers included a diverse range of exciting destinations, from beach towns and popular cities to desert getaways and places that can only be described as winter wonderlands.

A trendy travel spot was named Florida's best winter destination, and that's Key West! Here's why it's appealing for travelers this season:

"Winter is peak travel time in Key West, the southernmost point in the continental United States, for a reason. Warm weather, sun, and a swimmable ocean (for northerners anyway; Floridians might think the 70-degree water is too cold) make it a top destination to get away from frigid temps. In addition to water activities like sailing, snorkeling, and diving, on cooler days visitors can check out historic sites like the Harry S. Truman Little White House, the Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum, and the Audubon House. Winter visitors can also enjoy the culinary delights of the 12th annual Key West Food and Wine Festival in late January. Here are more of the best warm-weather destinations to escape the cold."
