These are just a few of the cool shops found on or around Duval Street in downtown Key West. Dave has visited all of the shops listed here (although we have removed many over the years because they are no longer in business). One neat thing about these shops that you can't find in most small US cities is that many of them are open late into the night. Most are open until at least 10pm.
