Southernmost Point Buoy
Travellers queue for a photo at the striped buoy, 90 miles from Cuba, on a Key West live webcam.
About this view
A striped concrete buoy marking the southernmost point of the continental United States, 90 miles to Cuba, as it famously declares, and one of the most photographed objects in Florida. The live webcam watches the queue that forms, dissolves and reforms all day long.
It is oddly compulsive viewing: proposals, family portraits, bikers in leathers, cruise passengers on a schedule, all taking the same photo with completely different energy. Queue length is a live index of how many ships are in port.
Come for the people-watching, stay for the weather: winter storms send waves crashing right over the buoy, and hurricane season occasionally swallows it entirely.
