About Duval Street

Duval Street runs just over 1.25 miles across Old Town Key West, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. Along the way you pass Sloppy Joe's bar, the San Carlos Institute, the 1896 Southernmost House, art galleries and boutiques. The northern end, near Mallory Square, is busy with cruise ship visitors, while the southern end feels more residential. The street is named for William Pope Duval, the first territorial governor of Florida.
