Mallory Square in Key West

Mallory Square is a waterfront square located in Key West, Florida. It has become a popular tourist destination due to its daily sunset celebration, which began in the late 1960s as a way for locals to bid farewell to another day in paradise. Today, the celebration includes street performers, food vendors, and a carnival-like atmosphere, all culminating in the viewing of the stunning sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. The square itself has a rich history, having been a bustling port and trading center in the 1800s. Visitors can also enjoy the nearby Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, which showcases artifacts from shipwrecks around the Florida Keys.
