Most hotels and many of the inns on the island rent bicycles, or there are several rental businesses in town. You can rent a mo-ped, too. Another option is to simply walk. Taxis also are abundant. Accommodations on the island are plentiful, ranging from the spartan to the luxurious.
Inns offer highly personalized service and reflect the island's diverse architecture.
Many provide continental, down home or gourmet breakfasts while others have full kitchens or kitchenettes. Once you're settled, head to Duval Street , the town's main drag and the center of the action. Duval Street, which stretches from the harbor at Mallory Square to the beaches at the other end of the island adjacent to South Street, is to Key West what Bourbon Street is to New Orleans. The mile-long street is clogged with shops, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. The other end is quieter, with an assortment of fine restaurants, bars, upscale shops and art galleries.
