There is no better seat for a Key West sunset than Sunset Pier. Extending out over the water at the Ocean Key Resort next to Mallory Square, this colorful open-air bar and restaurant captures the famous Sunset Celebration in full panoramic glory, without the street performer crowd. Live music nightly, tropical cocktails, a legendary Mojito Cart that appears as the sun dips low, and fresh seafood served right over the Gulf. Tables are first-come, first-served: no reservations needed. Just show up, grab a drink, and watch the sky do something spectacular. This is Key West at its most photogenic.
