Duval St.
Duval St. is the main tourist area in Key West. It is a combination of Main St.
anywhere USA. With all the trapping good, and bad of a boardwalk on any
ocean resort on the east coast. It is about one mile long. Reaching from the
Atlantic ocean at the lower end. All the way to the Gulf of Mexico at the upper
end. You will find this is where you will spend a lot of your time while you
visit Key West, and quite possibly a lot of your money. We average about 30
bars per square mile here in Key West and this is where you will find most
of them. For those of you who like to shop till you drop you have found nirvana.
Not to mention the vast array of restaurants to be found all along its length. Just
remember to get off the main track and enjoy the many side streets with shops
tucked away all over the island. I will include some of these on Duval St.
but not all by no means. For most you will find for yourself when you visit.
This is upper Duval St. (the Gulf end) during the day. Lots of shops
on this day downtown was fairly busy with a cruise ship in.
Usually during the hot summer days downtown is a little quieter. Most
people are at the beach or the kids are playing by the hotel pool. The
exception is when a ship in in town. The sidewalks fill up with people
trying to see and do as much as they can with the limited time that they
have in this port. Most people really enjoy Key West and will plan another
visit when they can spend more time. For now they enjoy a small taste
of the island life while they are in town.
Shops run along Duval from the Gulf to the Atlantic a little less than a mile.
Ending up at the south end of Duval at South Beach. This area was hit pretty
hard during hurricane George a couple years back and now up to speed again.
