You step off the shaded sidewalk into a heat-bright block of Key West: the salt-sweet air presses against your face, gulls call overhead and the rhythm of Duval Street pulls you toward the harbor. This self-guided audio walk threads from Mallory Square’s sunset hub through narrow streets lined with coral-stone houses and into the compact civic core around Truman’s Little White House.
