One of the most loved attractions on the water is watching wild dolphins feed, and jump and play in Key West waters.

She loves to swim with the dolphins and they love her!

Famous Key West Sunsets

One of the top attractions in Key West for visitors and locals alike is watching the sun set into the ocean. In years before tourism truly reached Key West, locals gathered every evening at the Mallory Pier to celebrate their day and blow a conch horn as the sun slid into the sea. That tradition evolved into the circus and arts fair that takes place nightly on Mallory Square. Street performers fill the air with applause and local artists show and sell their work. It is not to be missed. There is also a bar on the top of La Concha Hotel with a terrace that is great for sunset watching.

Want to watch the sunset on the water? You can charter a small yacht or sail into the sunset aboard a luxury catamaran with island music, munchies and free drinks on board the Fury Cat. You’ll marvel at the changing hues as the sky is painted with fiery gold, orange and pink. You may even see the legendary Green Flash if you’re lucky.
