The true southernmost point is on the nearby private property of the Truman Annex, but the buoy is the most accessible spot for visitors.
The buoy's vibrant red, yellow, and black colors make it a standout photo op and a symbol of Key West's lively culture.
Installed in 1983, the buoy replaced a simple sign that was often stolen, making it a more permanent landmark.
It's just 90 miles from Cuba, making it a symbolic connection between the U.S. and its Caribbean neighbor.
Despite being battered by storms like Hurricane Irma, the buoy stands resilient, a testament to Key West's enduring spirit.
