You can easily walk there from most downtown hotels or take the free shuttle that runs along Duval Street. After your visit, explore other Key West attractions or take a Key West sunset cruise to see dolphins and other marine life in their natural habitat. The area also offers excellent opportunities for Key West snorkelling tours where you can experience the coral reefs firsthand. Live animals are not sold through this listing.
