This nightly nature show is one of the island's most popular attractions
One of the best shows on Florida’s Key West is free, and it takes place each night. One of the best places to catch this spectacular display of light is on the Mallory Square docks, which sit just north of the cruise ship docks, and near the terminus of Front Street.
For decades, locals and tourists alike have gathered at this concrete wharf to watch the sky come alive in vibrant hues of orange and red. Many keep their eyes peeled for the fabled green flash, which is said to occur the moment the last rays of the sun sink below the water.
In addition to providing a front row to this magnificent display of nature, the docks are an evening gathering point for street performers and vendors, who assemble for a nightly sunset celebration that sets the tone for revelries to come.
