Today’s blog is all about the spectacular sunsets you can expect to see on your visit to Key West. We will take you on a visual tour starting with sunsets captured from a tower deck to the world famous Mallory Square Sunset Celebration in Key West. The Marker is just steps from the Historic Seaport and a short walk to Mallory Square where you will experience a stunning light show at sea ~ a Key West Sunset Celebration:

See You at Sunset!

Step outside the door and take a romantic Harbor walk stroll at the Historic Seaport while viewing a work of art ~ sunset in Key West. Our neighbors at Turtle Kraals and Conch Republic Seafood Company are a great place to gather for cocktails and dinner during sunset.
