How to avoid the worst of it today

Bike the whole island at porch pace. Old town's lanes, the White Street pier, the beaches' modest sand — a calm day on two wheels is Key West at its actual speed.
Linger in the gardens and the galleries. The tropical forest garden, the shipwreck and butterfly houses, Whitehead's studios — the island's shaded, unhurried register.

Where the crowds are

Mallory Square at sunset: The nightly ritual's full dock.
Duval's bar blocks on cruise days & nights: The island's river, twice daily.

Quiet places in Key West
