    The sunset viewing from the top of the La Concha Hotel on Duval Street is fantabulous and a great alternative to the Mallory Square sunset celebration

    This seven story hotel has a rooftop that allows for a complete 360 degree walk-around and views of Key West, the seaport and southernmost point.

    While I have never stayed @ La Concha (but have tried to get reservations during peak times unfortunately), I have had friends there and they showed me an entrance to the rooftop via elevator that is accessed through the hotel's bar facing Duval Street.

    On my last trip to key West in October 2006, they were even serving drinks on the rooftop so I was able to "toast the sunset" and this made for a most enjoyable evening overlooking the city, the harbor, and the cruiseships in port.

    I would highly recommend this as well as at least one Mallory Square sunset celebration for anyone visiting Key West.

  • The La Conch is the tallest building in old town, and of course there is a bar on the rooftop. For a panoramic view of the island make this one of your sunset spots while here. There is a one drink cover charge at prime time (sunset of course), but you can have a gander for free any other time of day.

    There is nothing better than watching a sunset in Key West. After a day of fishing, drinking, boating or, whatever your pleasure, pick a spot on the western side of the island and watch the sky explode in colors as the sun glides off the horizon. Key Westers, or conchs, as they like to be called, are so enamored by their sunsets that they celebrate them nightly at Mallory Square.

    We took these pictures from a sunset cruise just off the shore. If you've read any of my tips, you've probably guessed that I'm not a huge fan of Key West. But even I had to be impressed by this sight. Just another reminder of the color and beauty that only nature can create.

  • ASK, ASK, ASK about discounts at your hotel and check out all the free tourist books that are in every restaurant and tourist place. You can save 10 - 30% on so many things to do. Most hotels offer some sort of cruise or tour or something special for their gusets only.

    Key West is known for it’s beautiful sunsets. Unfortunately, we were still about a 25 min drive outside of Key West when the sun went down. We could see it in the distance and it looked gorgeous even from out there. Probably would have been awesome if we’d actually been in the town. Because I didn’t get a pic I’ve put a postcard pic here so you can see what it would look like.

    Take a sunset cruise on a big catamaran. The cruises are 2 hours long and usually include free drinks. The cost is typically $25-30 per person.

  • I think the best to do in Key West is to watch the sunset. It was the best plae that i ever watched the sunset. It's completely fascinating. You can see the reflection of sunlight on the sea, and the whole tones of sunset colors!

    Sunsets: Daily sunset celebration

  • Among all the reasons to go to Key West, this is perhaps the most rational: to watch the sun set. Daily, hundred of people gather at the dock to watch the sun set over the ocean as musicians strum their guitars, men with bare chests swallow swords, and teenagers spin fire as pensive hippies play bongo drums behind them. The performers try to steal your attention claming "It will still be there after our show." But it is mesmerizing to watch it slowly sink away into the ocean.
