Duval Street
A main street about 2 km long running through the old town, with bars, galleries, souvenir shops and Victorian wooden houses lined up in a row.
Duval Street runs about 1.8 km from the port on the Gulf of Mexico side to the Atlantic shore. Both sides are lined with bars, restaurants and galleries housed in 19th-century wooden buildings. Sloppy Joe's and Captain Tony's, both favourites of Hemingway, are in the northern section.
It is best for shopping and eating Key lime pie during the day. At night, it is famous for the “Duval Crawl” bar-hopping route. It is open all day, and walking or cycling is the most convenient way to explore. The south end leads to the Southernmost Point buoy, and the north end connects to Mallory Square.
Opening hours
Open all day; shops approx. 10:00–23:00, bars until the early hours
