Welcome to Mallory Square

Welcome to Mallory Square — the emotional and geographical center of Key West's legendary sunset celebration. Every evening, crowds gather at this historic waterfront plaza to watch the sun sink into the Gulf of Mexico, accompanied by street performers, artists, and the collective energy of a city that has always known how to mark the end of a day well. Mallory Square is more than a photo opportunity; it's a tradition that captures something essential about Key West's character. The square is also rich in history, having served as the hub of the island's commercial and maritime life for centuries. Arriving early lets you explore before the sunset crowd gathers.
