Mallory Square is located at the north end of Duval, Whitehead and Front Streets, along Wall Street. Facing out onto the Gulf of Mexico, it's a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike to toast each evening's sunset. But, there's plenty of other little things to do around Mallory Square...nothing earth shaking, mind you, but check out...
The sponge market (ocean sponges, folks, not birth control!)
Lots of local eateries, some are good places to get yourself some conch fritters
Bars
Sea shell and souvenir shops
The Key West Aquarium
and the nearby Truman Little White House
So my short point here is that there are things to do around Mallory Square leading up to sunset. Leave a Comment Address: Along Wall Street, between Duval and Front StreetsDirections: Go north on Duval, Whitehead or Front Streets until you intersect Wall Street and follow the signs.

Mallory Square is a somewhat touristy area of Key West, but a nice touristy area not to be missed. Mallory Square is THE place to come to see some of the most spectacular sunsets in the world. There is a seating area right on a point of land dedicated to just this purpose right on the waterfront and you'll see many people arrive here to wait for the sunset, or come just in time to catch the sunset and then stay to enjoy the cool breeze coming off the ocean. You can almost picture it in some romantic, 1940's movie.
Mallory Square is also a happy jumble of small shops, restaurants and outdoor seating areas, and even a museum (the Shipwreck Historeum). Other museums and attractions also squeeze into this quaint little piece of Key West. It certainly felt like a warm, friendly place where everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We had a nice lunch at a Cuban Restaurant here and thoroughly enjoyed it, then shopped and strolled around a little until it was time for sunset. It's a delightful place! Leave a Comment

Mallory Square appears to be a cul de sac of brightly colored shops, food stands and the aquarium thrown in to round things out. But, like most places in Key West, it is an area rich in history and one with a lot of meaning for Keys residents.
Mallory Square was once the gathering place of pirates and, later, in a spirit of "not in my backyard" campaigning, the place for anti-pirate demonstrations. It was also used as the assembly point for US soldiers for 4 separate wars.
But Mallory Square is most known for the fabulous Key West sunsets that can be viewed from this point. Again steeped in history and tradition, many locals and tourists gather at Mallory Square at dusk to watch the sunset and to celebrate the end of yet another day in Paradise, as the locals put it. During this nightly sunset celebration, artists and street performers are on hand to witness the festivities.

There are alot of things to do in Mallory Square. This is where you can board the Conch Tour Train or the Old Town Trolly, you can visit the Aquarium or the Shipwreck Historeum, you can shop in the Shell and Sponge store, and you can grab a bite to eat at many different restraunts.
They also do the sunset celbration everynight at sunset -- get there early though.

In the evening, the spectacular sunset is celebrated at Mallory Square, where entertaining street performers and vendors gather as long as the weather permits (which is most of the time). Leave a Comment

Great place to pick up souvenirs, eat, drink, check out museums and pick up the trolley car tours. There’s all kinds of stalls selling interesting items like sea sponges. Leave a Comment

Not sure of actual name of this but it has this large sculpture of wreckers and also pillars with busts of people associated with Key West. The pillars have plaques which tell the history of each person as well. Leave a Comment Address: Located near Mallory Square
