Southernmost Point Buoy Cam 2

The Iconic Marker

This camera frames one of America's most photographed monuments: the painted concrete buoy proclaiming the Southernmost Point of the Continental U.S.A. Standing at the foot of Whitehead Street, the red, black and yellow marker draws a steady stream of travelers eager to mark their visit to the edge of the mainland United States.

Ninety Miles to Cuba

Behind the buoy, the camera looks out across the Florida Straits, where the Atlantic meets the Gulf of Mexico. The marker's bold lettering reminds every visitor that Havana lies only 90 miles south, a fact that has given this spot its enduring geographic and cultural significance.

Key West Atmosphere

The view captures the relaxed tropical rhythm of Key West, with palms swaying near the Southernmost Beach boardwalk and the neighboring beach café. It is a living portrait of the island's easygoing charm at the southern tip of the Florida Keys.

A Constant Stream of Visitors

Few landmarks are as continuously busy as this one. The camera reveals a perpetual rotation of sightseers posing for photographs, making it a window onto both a celebrated tourist attraction and the timeless allure of the open Caribbean horizon.
