Even the most urban corners of Key West hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Mallory Square and Duval Street offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Fort Zachary Taylor for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
