Southernmost Point in the Continental United States
This cement marker painted to resemble a buoy is located at the southern end of Whitehead Street in Key West and is intended to mark the southernmost point in the Continental US. It is a huge tourist attraction and generally has a long line of folks waiting to have their pictures taken with the buoy. At this point in the US you are standing 90-miles away from Cuba. To put that into perspective, the nearest Wal-Mart is 115-miles away in Homestead, Florida on the mainland. The nearest English speaking TV station is even further away in Miami.
