I am so glad we did!! After an incredibly stressful year, it was great to see my husband enjoying himself so much! This was definitely the highlight of his Key West trip! We were the second seaplane to land so we practically had the island to ourselves (other than the few people that had camped overnight). It was amazing wandering the fort, snorkeling (him, not me), and just enjoying the spectacular views with very few people around. If we get the chance to come back, we would definitely do it the same way!

So obviously I am going to give this Key West cultural landmark and plaza 5 stars because IT SHARES MY NAME!! Like many others have said, this is a tourist hot spot with lots of beachy shopping, restaurants, and museums. My dad made sure to take lots of photos of me by my namesake plaza while we visited Key West on family trips back when I was a kid. I wasn't so enthused to pose back then but I am now as an adult!! Mallory isn't a common name so I have a biased opinion of anything or anyone that is named Mallory. I can't wait to come back and get even more time in MY square! :)

First off - there is Mallory Square which is a great place to catch the sunset and then there is…read morethe Shops at Mallory Square. I point this out only becasue some folks get Mallory Square - the outdoor entertainment area confused with the Shops at Mallory Square - the building with lots of shops and dining areas. When you ask for directions, most locals will give you directions to the outdoor entertainment area. This is a great location to catch the sunset, see street performers, do some people-watching or to grab a bite to eat.

This little nature trail is located right off of Atlantic near Smathers Beach. I have noticed it…read moremany times and I have always wanted to stroll over and check it out so I did on this trip. It's just a short boardwalk amongst the trees that walks you out to the ocean. On the way you will encounter some wetlands and mangroves. If the city paid a little more attention to it, the space has potential. It looks ignored but with a little trimming and trash collection, this place could transform. I did encounter a gorgeous heron while taking in the view.

I think this somewhat hidden nature walk and preserve is in need of some tender loving care. It has…read moreso much potential. The entrance to the trail is hardly noticeable and once I entered the trail, I was happy I had crappy sneakers on since the path over the ground (covered in some rock) is wet and there are a couple spots to keep an eye out for. Then thy have a boardwalk but sections are closed and falling apart and on the boardwalk path I was one had a few wood boards in bad shape or coming off. But the saving grace is as you approach the beach... Palms Trees and Seagrapes and the lovely arrival to the beach view (it's what made the visit worthwhile). If fixed up a bit then this place can be well worth a visit

There are small shaded tables on the side inside the grounds to drop all the beach bags and coolers and most of the play equipment is for climbing and balancing.

Key West is not a beach destination namely because the island doesn't have any beaches. True facts…read more Clarence Higgs Memorial Beach is an artificial beach and is really the only beach on the island besides Fort Zachary Taylor Park. Clarence Higgs beach is more of your traditional beach vacation where you can rent umbrellas and towels, play beach volleyball (there are only two courts), rent kayaks and snorkeling gear. The downside is that it isn't as picturesque as Fort Zachary Taylor Park. But that park doesn't really have any amenities. Overall, it's a decent beach. As the only traditional beach vacation spot on the island, though, it's going to be on your Key West itinerary at some point I hope.

It was wonderful that he fillet the fish for us, right there, so we could take it to a restaurant and they cooked it for us for dinner!
