My favorite "sunrise in paradise" location on Key West. These palms are featured on Jimmy Buffett's A1A album, and the back cover is about 50 yards north of here. While he lived here this was a favorite spot of his and he wrote a few songs here. Have been attempting to get the best shot of these palms for many years. I'M STILL TRYING!
I read that they were starting a major beach-renovation project and
I had hoped that they wouldn't remove my very 'cherished' magical beach-palms that I have enjoyed at sunrise for the last five decades. As I scooted up...they are still here...like beacons in the night...but they are STILL here! LOL Whew! So happy the city is keeping them!
