Follow the footprints of Key West’s storytellers and characters from Duval to Whitehead. Step into Hemingway’s Spanish-colonial home, climb the lighthouse where keepers watched the straits, and wander the lanes of Bahama Village for music, food, and color. Drop by La Concha and the Green Parrot for legend and lore, browse Duval’s art studios, and finish with pie and a laugh. It is an easy, flexible walk that turns famous names and local places into one connected story.
