Experiences

There’s no better way to end a day in Key West than with the iconic Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square. Each evening, locals and visitors gather along the water’s edge to soak in the island’s famous golden-hour glow. But it’s more than just a stunning view; it’s a true community experience. Street performers juggle, dance, and dazzle the crowd, local artisans showcase handmade goods, and musicians provide the soundtrack to a laid-back, joyful atmosphere. With the Gulf as your backdrop and the vibrant spirit of Key West in the air, this nightly ritual is both unforgettable and uniquely local.

Near Duval Street, the 37-slip marina accommodates motor yachts from 25 to 200 feet for daily or overnight dockage. The rate includes utilities, and use of our resort amenities. We also have water sport rentals right at the marina so that guests can dive into all the water-based fun Key West is known for. Our concierge team is happy to help you book your excursion.

Our resort is a short stroll to Key West’s Old Town, a treasure trove of eclectic boutiques, locally made goods, and island-inspired finds. Wander colorful streets lined with everything from tropical resort wear and handmade jewelry to art galleries and quirky gift shops. It’s easy to spend a few leisurely hours popping in and out of stores, picking up something special to remember your island escape.

Snap a photo at one of Key West’s most iconic landmarks: the Southernmost Point buoy. Painted in bold red, black, and yellow stripes, this colorful concrete marker sits just 90 miles from Cuba and draws visitors from around the world. While the line can get long, the photo op (and the bragging rights) are well worth the wait. Afterward, stroll the surrounding neighborhood’s quiet streets and enjoy a slower, sun-drenched slice of island life.

Key West’s waters offer a boatload of experiences and local charters make it easy to dive in. Fury Water Adventures, located just behind the resort, is known for its variety of excursions, including reef snorkeling, sunset sails, and full-day water sport packages. For something more intimate, Danger Charters offers upscale sailing trips with snorkeling and kayaking in the backcountry, while Mermaid Charters specializes in customizable private outings to hidden sandbars and dolphin hotspots. No matter your speed, there’s a boat with your name on it waiting in the harbor.

Unearth a true Key West treasure at the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum, where tales of shipwrecks, sunken gold, and real-life adventure come to life. The museum showcases the remarkable discoveries of treasure hunter Mel Fisher, who spent years recovering priceless artifacts from the 1622 wreck of Nuestra Señora de Atocha. Wander exhibits filled with centuries-old coins, weapons, and diving gear, all while tracing the daring pursuit that led to one of the greatest finds in maritime history.

Located just around the corner from the resort, the Key West Aquarium is one of the island’s oldest attractions — and still a favorite for its up-close encounters with local marine life. Touch tanks let you get hands-on with sea stars and horseshoe crabs, while daily feedings of sharks, stingrays, and rescued sea turtles offer a fun and educational look at the waters surrounding the Keys. It’s a charming, low-key stop for curious kids and ocean lovers alike.

A short stroll from the resort, the Key West Historic Seaport is a lively stretch of boardwalk lined with open-air restaurants, eclectic shops, and boats bobbing in the harbor. Grab a drink and people-watch from a waterfront patio, browse nautical-themed boutiques, or simply take in the sights and sounds of a working marina steeped in local character. It’s one of the best places to soak in the island’s energy at your own pace.

Located in the heart of Old Town, the Key West Museum of Art & History offers a rich dive into the island’s vibrant culture and storied past. Housed in the beautifully preserved Custom House, the museum features rotating exhibits spotlighting local artists, historic artifacts, and tales from Key West’s maritime heritage. It’s an engaging stop that deepens your connection to the island beyond the usual postcard scenes.
