March is for die-hard Key West fishing fans only. This March it's blown average of 20 knots most weeks, making huge rolling waves out there on the reef. Beyond the reef, well you're taking your life in your own hands if you go out there in a fishing boat.
Luckily, there is one type of Key West fishing that's possible on any day, no matter what the weather has thrown our way. It's on White Street Pier.
Now if you're used to fishing in a boat and in deeper water, this is going to be a big disappointment for you. But for people on vacation or fishing addicts who just have to fish but can't take the skiff out in 25 knots, we have White Street Pier. You can see here how horrible the Key West weather is on this particular day in late March:
The sky is gray and the water is brown from days of high winds from the south. But these folks have figured out that none of this matters to the fish below White Street Pier.

Key West is great, but let's face it there is a lack of wild places to explore on land. The ocean is a whole world of exploration, the Silent World, full of mystery and strange creatures. What to do if it's blowing 30 knots and you are stuck on land?

Drive out to Geiger Key, just east of Key West, to satisfy the explorer in you. It's a strip of beach adjacent to fenced-off military land, wide enough to traverse and explore. It faces the Atlantic and the beach is narrow with rocks behind it. As Key West beaches go, this is my favorite because it's so untouched and wild.

Walk far enough down the beach, westward, and you'll hit the most incredible little beach hut. It's got a stone foundation and the walls are made of woven driftwood. There are rooms, stairs, a ladder to the roof, hallways, and secret little dens that could also be altars, depending on your point of view.

The beach hut is made to the scale of hobbits, and the little kids we saw there were delighted when they saw it. What a great place for a kids' birthday party. Check out the pictures:
