Mallory Square is well designed. Visit an hour before sunset for a magical experience. I was able to have tropical drinks made in pineapples, see tight rope walking, juggling, knife tricks, Unicycle acts And fire Throwing. Live music was amazing. The sunset was truly beautiful. Theres a nice feeling of community and visitors coming together for a daily experience . There are great restaurants in variety price ranges nearby. There are also bust that explained the local history and notable characters including Tennessee Williams, Henry Flagler, Ernest Hemingway, and Tennessee Williams.

This place has life. Come during the sunset hours and you will have a very pleasant and amazing time watching the sunset, grabbing a drink and watching some street shows

Very fun night! Lots of local artists as vendors. They do amazing work. Always something to do or look at. A must see if your in key west. 6:30pm to midnight every night is the sunset festival.

Super cool place to be. A lot of different shops and options around. 7 or 8 street performers on weekdays and weekends. Cuban coffee queen is one of the best coffee shops Ive been to anywhere (located in the mall).

Was pretty barren, empty, couple of homeless people sitting around with roosters and chickens seemingly accompanying them. It looks like it would be a hopping place filled with festivities during peak times. Not much going on in the middle of November. Not sure if its off-peak or if covid is affecting it.

This place is really popping! Lots of people. All wearing mask. Overall great place!

Great street shows, as always. During these covid times, everyone was masked up. Not as many as we are used to but all the old favorites were there, except Ray Rolston, artist, RIP sir.

Easily accessible from Duval St. Plenty of pay parking including for handicap accessible vehicles.Nice group of Stores, Museum, Park and Restaurants and is located on the Waterfront. Restrooms are available.

I was there the end of July during the pandemic so there was free parking at the wharf at Mallory Square. There werent very many free parking spaces so I would bet if it was any other summer day that the parking lot would be full. There were other small lots in the neighborhood that had a person waving signs parking for a fee. It was nice going during the pandemic because I had the place to myself. I could picture this place getting pretty crowded very fast. Its a bit of a tourist trap but I liked this area and would definitely recommend it.

Awesome place for the sunset and the various performances are an unusual twist. Very entertaining!

A wondrous place filled with characters of diversity. This location is perfect to watch the sunset and enjoy ones time in KW.

Its beautiful but with this covid stuff its dead and boring. Great place to see the sunset thats about it

Has it all! Get what you want, When you want it,vacant tell you how much fun! Go! Love to all of them.

Fun place to be at for the Sunset festival. Lot of interesting people and entertainment. Take your loved one(s) get a coconut and enjoy watching the sunset, making it seem like it disappears into the ocean.

Great place for a stroll and to people watch! Some fun Street performers and if the weather cooperates then a great sunset!

A nice place to sit down and watch the sunset. There will be a few street performers to entertain you. You can find a few shops around and buy souvenirs. They also have restaurants for food and drinks.

Great experience for my friend from out of town. Coast Guard should really move their Boat at Sundown in my opinion. Blocked some really beautiful shots. But assured Ill get hateful things about posting that.

Great place but not busy at all. Tourism is dead because of the cold virus.

We went here to see the sun set festival. It was wonderful! Parking is reasonable: $5/hour.

Mallory Square is fun! There are so many shops, little attractions, restaurants! My husband and I had a really good time. It was scorching!! I would recommend visiting the stand with the frozen smoothies & shakes. There is also a beautiful view of the gulf

From Largo to Key West, a trip to the Florida Keys should be on EVERYONES bucket list. There is something for everyone. I personally stay in Marathon Key. Marathon is pretty much centered in the middle of the keys, making it easier to reach the beautiful parks and attractions. Enjoy! Its an experience you wont forget.

Very nice open space. Great views of the ocean and sunset. Everyone is friendly, and the performers, artists, etc that occupy the square are awesome; they are very entertaining.

This is the best place to watch the sunset. Unobstructed views of the sun setting! Get there early to get a good spot!

Watched the sunset at about 7pm. Lots of people sitting on the pier with us. Some nice lady took our picture for us. Someone played the guitar nearby. Afterward, we walked around and saw several craft and souvenir vendors and a street performer. The brick and mortar stores that I wanted to go into were closed, unfortunately, with shortened hours. Google hasn’t made those edits yet.

Really neat area with some cool shops and live performers. Great place to see the sun set.

Mallory Square is the place to watch the sunsets. So much so, its got an official brand, its name: the Sunset Celebration.If you dont make it tonight, its playing tomorrow night too. And, every night after that. It inspired my article at Circling Travel.

I have been here two times now and the first time I went was awesome! Food carts, live shows, the amazing scenic views, fishing from the wall, and overall the vibe was insane. The second time I visited was just recently and I came down early in the morning to see the sunrise. I didn’t do much planning and was shocked to see that nothing was there and set up, but I do have to say Mallory Square sunrises are something you should add to your bucket list. It is so quiet and serene. I will be coming back soon!

Best sunset view ever!!! Great place to stay with family and friends... many free shows....

Go here at sunset! Actually get here at least an hour early to get a good spot. Not as many vendors because of Covid.

Amazing. Fantastic views, art, people, food. Loved every minute

Great place to catch a free sunset with free entertainment, tip the ones you like, the old man on the far end is spot on with 60s and 70s music with his guitar.

Nice scenery. A wide variety of local craft and food shops and stores.

Attractive, fun and old. This is how I describe this small tourist corner.

Just about something for everyone but if new there you cannot find your way around. Asked a couple where Mallory Square was and they said they had been looking for it for 2 hours. Not well marked. Ck paeking prices . We pd $40 when next lot over was $20.

Great place felt very comfortable. Everybody socially distancing

Best view of the sunset in key west, I recommend you get there early to see the sunset because it can get packed some times.

Nice spot to watch the sunset. Entertaining with lots of street performers. Sun sets over nearby key tho not into the water.

Stop inside Cuban Coffee Queen. There food & drinks are awesome & the owners are adorable. Little shops around the outside are great too.

UPDATE:12/30/19...Toilet still broken. Come stand in line.1of the 2 Bathroom toilets has been broken for MONTHS NOW.Maybe put an EXTRA OUTHOUSE/SKEETER CAN OUTSIDE.Im sure the CRUISE PASSENGERS would really appreciate it.Thank you Luis for doing such a good job!

Even in these uncertain times Mallory Square continues to be such a great spot for sunset in Key West. Between the beautiful views, the street performers, and the access to surrounding bars/restaurants, its still the place to start your night out. Enjoy!

This area is a traditional stop for both fl natives and tourists. Several different street artist perform every night. Beekeeping restaurant right behind the square is absolutely delicious.If youre looking for an area that the sun actually touches the water in front of you unfortunately this is not the place. There is a island that blocks the setting sun but silhouettes nicely in photos.Be careful near the edge of the pierin many places there is no handrail and you or one of your little ones could possibly fall over.Worth it just for the cultural experience.

Very nice & friendly folks, as always. Stores are open...some have amended operating schedules, but everything is well posted. LOVE MALLORY SQUARE!

You have to visit Mallory Square on a trip to Key West! All the fun starts around 6:00. Some of the street performances were mediocre, but then we found one we really enjoyed watching. He was amazing and charismatic! The sunset was just okay and unlike years past, no one claps anymore! That was disappointing. It was packed, too. Maybe a less busy time of year (before Christmas?) Would be less crowded.

This is a place where you can see the beauty of our world and be embraced in the culture of Florida! There are street performers that line the boulevard and restaurants that have about any type of food.It gets busy during the sunset and some of the street performers can get pretty aggressive for money, but its like any busy area. Be mindful and respectful.Go check it out and grab a bite to eat from a local vendor!

We had a nice time watching the sunset and the shows. Mark the acrobat was great! Area is crowded as you can expect, parking at the time of review is $5/ hr.

Its always fun to come here for the sunset. I recommend coming everyday your here before you go to duval.

Amazing location to watch the Sunset. Lots of shops and live entrainment. Definitely a must when you visit Key West, Id recommend plan your visit, because parking is limited, although theres paid parking it could take you a long time to find a spot.

We went to the square around mid-day and stayed until after sunset. Great place to sit and watch the boats and cruise ships. Late afternoon is when the entertainment starts, there are singers, musicians, jugglers, animal shows and more. It is a great place for people of all ages and backgrounds. There is a lot of restaurants available nearby with plenty to choose from. We really enjoyed the festive atmosphere.

Relatively small square, but with good view and close to sunset pier which is one of my favourite spots in key west. Good spot to see the beautiful color of the sea and see all these islands. Can enjoy jet ski or other water sports.

This is supposed to be the best sunset spot in Key west, Florida. Apart from the sunset, the place is happening, there are food carts, street artists (unicycle juggler the day I was there), souvenir shop and cuban bar (which had live music the day I was there).

Love this place for a magical sunset! Street entertainers are the best!!

Everything I had hoped for. The sunset was breathtaking and the margarittas were non stop. Gotta come back!!

Great spot to watch the sunset. Lots of street performers and people all there for the sunset celebration. They do this every night if you’ve never been to key west this is a must do at least once. Everyone does it. the one day we went it was cloudy but still got a few pics.

Its so cool actually making it to Key West. This is the launching point for Caribbean cruises.

The street performers were fun, neat items to buy from local vendors and a great spot to watch the sunset.

An iconic seaport, witness of the best sunsets all year long.

Easy parking, although not a whole lot. Nice area to walk around easy to get to other shopping and restaurants downtown.

Love this place, havent been here in a real long time.

When visiting Key West, this is a must stop for sunset photos. Nice gift shops and stores near by. And, if you see cruise ships docked here, you will know that the stores are packed.

Key West Traditional! Where everyone comes together at the end of the day to see the Sunset. A must if youre a Tourist.

The people should take care more about six feet apart, the view is totally great!

Kind of slow. Only 3 performers. Much better in the past.

Quintessential tourist activity., and, if you walk out toward the ocean, amazing views.

Always enjoy coming to the square. Beautiful place and the people are very excited to be there.

Very cool place. Very beautiful in the day but so much fun at night. The sunset was gorgeous on my first night but then it rained the rest of my trip. However, I got the one night to enjoy the performers and the view. Catman was my favorite and he performs at the end of the square. There were lots of very talented performers and I was in awe. Loved this sunset festival- I missed it before when I was on a cruise since the ships block the view and have to leave before sunset.

The street preformers were so good, and so entertaining, for free!!! Highly advise you to take the time to stop and watch!!

Best sunsets!! Street entertainers great!! Sat here & ate breakfast one morning with the chickens. Nice views & quiet in morning.

Very walkable just like all of KW. Try a chocolate dipped key lime pie! Yum!

Very disappointed. I assume the hurricane took out most of it. Nothing like it used to be. Too bad. It used to be so nice.

So Fun, after along day of pool, beach and exploring we loved the atmosphere and celebration of another wonder day in paradise. We went 3 nights and saw a couple different acts each night which deserve the tips they received. The sunset was not the best view, Fort Zachery or sunset key would be much better.

I still remember Mustafa. He was truly a lover of music and offered to let us play beside him.

Ive been to the Keys a number of times. Mallory square was always filled with street preformers. Now, its filled with homeless. Not their fault but not fun either.

Mallory Square offers the festive occasion of the Sunset Celebration everyday with live performers, vendors and artists along the waterfront offering spectacular views!

Really beautiful and historic. Sunset celebration was fun. Perfect for people watching and street performers. Loved watching the chickens run around. Sunset was beautiful. Definitely must stop. Grab a fresh coconut and watch the sun disappear.

A small attraction area with varies stores around. Almost like plaza off the coast. There are cute spots around to take pictures.

Mallory Square what can I say? I absolutely love the vibe in Key West! Its always laid back and the shop owners are accommodating and pleasant! Mallory Square has a little something for everyone and every age group! If you have never been, it is somewhere you need to come experience!

Beautiful sunset and fun performances. Nice shopping for local arts and crafts. Have been twice. Lots of shops and bars. Fun atmosphere.

The highlight of my cruise vacation... Coming back without a cruise. Absolutely loved every minute here (steer clear of Treasure Island - shady business). Make sure you go to Kermits delicious key lime pie place!

Its a beautiful spot with great view of the sunset, the ocean, and places to shop and eat or buy souvenir. Also there is an aquarium to bring your young children to see. Lovely place to stroll along the water front with your love one and then stop for a drink or dinner watching the sunset.

Nice place to watch the sunsets . Usually has local artists selling their products and paintings.

I had first visited Mallory Square 17 years ago. I seem to remember it having a lot more personality before, and even the sunset was less than thrilling since the sun sets behind an island during the summer rather than directly over the ocean. I suspect the changes made to accommodate the cruise ships are primarily responsible for the lack of character.

Nice relaxing walk with family or love one.

Get there an hour early if you want a good spot on the sea wall to watch the sunset. The salty old buskers add a good flavor and balance out the extravagant street performers. It’s going to be crowded so if you’re not into that go somewhere else. It’s fun watching all the booze cruises go by.

Just like another fisherman’s wharf without the sea lions. Rated as a best place for sunset but I didn’t like how the sun set to another island instead of the sea from the square.Also, super crowded.

Such a cool place to go at the end of the day to watch the sunset. Its great just to walk around and watch the performers, have a drink/food and then see the sunset. Very relaxing

Very fun and the most beautiful sunset Ive ever seen. Recommend it.

Great small mall.. Awesome Cuban coffee

Beautiful sunsets. Amazing atmosphere. This screams paradise to me..

So much fun! Really a beautiful place.

Always a freaky place to visit. You never know what is going to happen there. There are all sorts of street performers, a great place to watch a sunset.

Very nice place in Key West, Florida. Mallory square is a fun place to be at least an hour or two before sunset. You can watch amazing shows performed by local artists and dont forget to tip them if you like it . While you are enjoying the eveninging there, dont forget to grab a front like seat on the concrete to watch the beautiful sunset. Those 30 minutes of watching sunset here is one of the most unforgettable experience.

Best place in key west to watch the sunset! Lots of street entertainment all around too.

Great place just to watch the sunset,so much going on around that time. Have to have the experience while in Key West. The Christmas boat pageant is really interesting too. Have to give the Coast Guard credit for the best lit boat!

We had a blast wish we could have stayed longer. Beautiful

Must see the sunset there. Very interesting. Beautiful old buildings.

Great place to stop at in Keywest.

Amazing sunset! But not much else during the pandemic.

Great place to see the sunset. However, during covid it is challenging. Some are wearing face masks and social distancing, but many are not.

Nice vibe great sunset great drinks and prices

Great place to see the sunset. Had a few little vendors around but not much else to see or do in that particular square
