The "Southernmost" Point in the Continental US

I went to Key West, FL recently. One tourist attraction there is the Southernmost Point Buoy, located at Whitehead St and South St. There was a freakin' line to get pictures in front of it. I wasn't about to wait, so I just snapped a picture of some strangers in front of it:

There is a bit of land just a bit more southern, but it's of the Navy base, so we weren't able to get to it.
