The annual powerboat races are happening all week prior to our reception. It's unreal to see boats hitting 180mph right offshore from Key West. Look out for the "World's Fastest Boat Parade" where you can see these close-ups. They keep them at Truman Waterfront park, where they have vendors, live music, and fun to be had. There are a ton of great vantage points for the races, but we love Lagerheads, Mallory Square, and Sunset Pier.
1.25 mile walk filled with bars, local art, handcrafted jewelry, outlet stores, more bars, and great food. Duval street it the main artery of commerce for Key West. If you make it to the end, ensure you see the Southernmost Point Bouy at the Southernmost Point Bar - The mojitos legendary.
