    Approaching the Mallory Square area
    Sarah W.

    We visited Mallory Square several times during our visit for both the nightly Sunset Celebration with various street performers and also during the daytime. Our daytime visit was tasked with sampling several food and drink establishments, as well as procurement of souvenirs and hostess gifts. Lovely area near the water and bustling with plenty of local and tourist activity most of the time we were there.

    We spent Friday afternoon and evening in and around Mallory Square checking out the shops and attractions and making sure to see the sunset. We parked in the lot which is $7 an hour and walked around enjoying live music and entertainment just before and after sunset. It was really nice and packed with people even in winter so if you love crowds and people watching, this is definitely the place for you!

    This is a cute shopping area in the main tourist area near Duval St. This is also where a couple of the train/trolleys tours start and end. You can also buy tickets here for other tours. There is a few shops selling souvenirs. It's also close to the Key West cruise port.

    We went to Mallory Square specifically to watch the sunset, and it's easy to see why it's so popular. If you want a front-row view, plan to arrive at least an hour early. Even with the crowds, it was a beautiful and memorable experience.

    Mallory Square is a beautiful spot to watch the sunset or take a nice walk along the boardwalk, looking out into the Gulfs horizon. If you arrive here two hours before sunset, you can partake in their nightly festival featuring magicians, jugglers, clowns, psychics, local musicians, artists, food and jewelry vendors. We stopped by twice during our visit to the area and we're able to experience two amazing shows from two different performers each time. Just know that it's free to see the performances; however, they do ask for onlookers to tip them what they can afford as they wrap up the show. The shops of Mallory Square and The Museum of Art History are in close proximity to Mallory Square, so you can easily spend a 1/3 of your day boping around this area. All-in-all, a great place to walk around and get some exercise, shop, see some live entertainment and watch the sunset. I highly recommend stopping by while in the Keys.

    If you went to Key West and didn't go to Mallory Square were you even there? The square allows for stunning a views in the daytime and at sunset. There is a Cuba spot that has a great shop, bar, and restaurants. So there for the views, people watching, a bite, and for core memories!

    Everyone knows "Mallory Square" for the famous Sunset Celebration (so famous that it has it's own Yelp listing: https://www.yelp.com/biz/sunset-celebration-at-mallory-square-key-west-2?osq=sunset+celebration&override_cta=Request+pricing+%26+availability But there is more to the fun times to watch than just street performers and tourists.... this place has history and some other attributes that are probably looked over. Did you know this large area of paver stones with some architectural points of interest and very little landscaping or shade once upon a time played a huge role in Key West industry long before tourism.... the WRECKING / SALVAGE INDUSTRY. Mallory Square was the area that housed warehouses to store wrecking equipment and salvaged goods that were housed until they were auctioned off. If you ever read about Key West history, you'd be amazed by so much you wouldn't expect and the Wrecking/Salvage was a huge part of it. A lot of the buildings and entertainment surrounding the open area are also part of Mallory Square, like the buildings that include the Shell Warehouse, Sponge Market, the Aquarium, Waterfront Theatre and more... An amazing history and now arguably the most popular tourist stop in Key West

    The heart of Key West with lots of roosters , t shirt shops & coffee places. It's quiet in the morning as the tourists from our ship. At sunset it fills with tourists, street performers and locals. This is the place for people watching.

    Folks, if you want to experience one of the all time great spots to take in a sunset, come here. See my photos as they say it all. This was in December and the sun position is perfect. Come early to get a spot on the seawall. Huge number of vendors pop open displays a little before sunset and vanish as the crowds break up.

    CIVIL TWILIGHT AT MALLORY SQUARE 10/15/2025
    Yellow R.

    We went to Mallory Square the first night, but the Sun was down. It is called civil twilight. Still very bright, but the Sun is 6" below the horizon. It was not too crowded, and there were a couple of performers in the square. The second night we arrived earlier, and took a few great photographs. It was a wonderful event to share with others. This night we were able to see 2 other bright lights in the sky. I believe one was the planet Venus. Hopefully not UFO's On the negative, the public bathroom was disgusting. New plumbing equipment is needed. Just cleaning it, is not enough. It needs a makeover. Even maintenance workers concurred.

    For some reason, I took great pictures but never did my reviews on a few Key West landmarks, so here it goes. At the end of each day I go here to watch the beautiful sunset with jugglers, food and local jewelry tables set up for the tourists. Am I still considered a tourist if I come to visit Key West several times every year? This view of the sunset is unmatched anywhere in Florida.

    Mallory Square is a tourist haven for a good reason; it provides a truly mesmerizing sunset viewing experience. There are certainly lots of folks selling their wares, and you'll have to get there early to get a good spot, but once that sun starts dipping on the horizon, whew. Stunning. I've been twice and the second time the sun decided to hide, but it was still a pretty view regardless.

    We enjoy ending everyday in Mallory Square at the far end of Duval Street in Key West, FL. As the sun is setting with an unobstructed crazy view of the reddish orange sun lowering with a drink in hand. There are a few high end resort style hotels surrounding the square where people can sit around the pools or at the patio bars. Mallory Square is famous for the entertainment too not just the sunset. There are fire stick jugglers and local jewelry sales set up for hundreds of the tourists and locals every day. 4.5 stars here.

    This bronze statue is located right next to the Southernmost Point landmark at the corner of…read moreWhitehead and South Street. It's a nice remembrance of the history of the town and the struggles that some of their residents had to endure decades ago. The statue, erected in March 2015, celebrates the life of Bishop Albert Kee, a preacher, businessman, and Key West's official ambassador of goodwill. Each day, Bishop Kee could be seen at the Southernmost Point, greeting the Conch Train with a cheerful wave and toot on a conch shell. He educated visitors about the origins of conch and various uses for conch meat and also explained how Key West's natives came to be called Conchs. Bishop Kee, and his father before him, left a 50-year legacy of welcoming all who visited the Southernmost Point and popularized conch blowing. More important, they were emissaries of the multi-cultural, multi-ethnic community that had made Key West unique since its inception. Bishop Kee witnessed the Southernmost Point evolve into a spot that thousands of tourists flock to for their photos. And he was there when the old wooden southernmost billboard was replaced with the oversized buoy proclaiming that it is the southernmost point in the continental United States. The buoy design originated from a large floating buoy that marked the entrance to the Black Beach. A number of years prior to this, President Harry Truman took a big step in support of equal rights when he ordered that the military become desegregated. His orders were interpreted to mean that desegregation applied only to military personnel. President Dwight D. Eisenhower took this a step further and desegregated the entire military.The historic Black Beach could not be returned to the community since a large portion of it was now a military base with Navy housing built along the adjacent shores. However, as a gesture to the community, the city built a large community pool and community center at the edge of Bahama Village. The pool was situated to look over the beaches that were once Black Beach and toward the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It had ground level space for community gatherings and was open to all. The pool is currently called the Martin Luther King Community Center and is located at 300 Catherine Street in Bahama Village.

Worse it remains unfinished as HIV victims are still dying. The memorial has been enlarged twice and names are still been added. The Key West AIDS Memorial was built with private funds and donated to the City of Key West in 1997. At that time not only was Key West battling an epidemic few people understood, but it was also becoming a refuge for hundreds of people who were diagnosed elsewhere but felt they could not remain at home in what many considered to be hostile environments. So they moved to Key West, which drove the "real" numbers much higher and put an overwhelming strain on the medical resources of the tiny island community. I might add that the Key West AIDS Memorial was the first municipal memorial to AIDS victims in the world.
