It’s back! The red, yellow, black and white Southernmost Point marker, a massive concrete monument that resembles a giant marine navigational buoy, is located beside the Atlantic Ocean and designates the southernmost point of land in the continental United States.

The City of Key West hired original artist Danny Acosta, who was aided by Henry DelValle, to repaint the graphics after public works staffers re-stuccoed and primed the four-ton structure.
