If you want to anchor near Key West proper, the anchorages are all rolly and difficult to get a good anchor set. I have anchored on both sides of Wisteria Island trying to get out of the swell with no real success. The SW corner of Flemming Key only has room for a few boats but is protected from the prevalent NE wind.

The moorings to the east of Flemming Key are your best bet for holding but may be rolly also.

Dinghy access is either by daily fee at one of the marinas in Key West Bight or comes with your mooring fee at Garrison Bight. The latter is a good walk from the Duval Street action, Mallory Square or the cruisers bars at Key West Bight.

In addition to the normal tourist stuff, the Green Parrot Bar a block or so south of Duval has some great jazz groups and a Jam session Sunday afternoon with no cover.
