Southernmost Point

Southernmost Point
Southernmost Point an der Küste von Key West

Der Southernmost Point gilt als der südlichste Punkt der kontinentalen USA und liegt auf der letzten der Florida Keys, Key West. Er liegt am Rand der Stadt Key West im Stadtteil Upper Duval an der Ecke Whitehead Street und South Street. Zum Stadtzentrum sind es zu Fuß nur einige Minuten.

Tatsächlich ist der Southernmost Point aber nicht der südlichste Punkt von Key West. Dieser liegt auf der nebenan angesiedelten US Navy Basis. Der südlichste Punkt der kontinentalen USA liegt aber, da Key West eine Insel ist, etwa beim in den Everglades befindlichen Ort Flamingo.
