"When heading to the Shore for peace and sunsets, we're always on the lookout for gorgeous views of the water, boats, and a fun spot to people-watch. Sunset Pier gives you all of that. Get a fresh batch of steamers served with white wine, butter, and garlic sauce while you discuss what you would name your imaginary yacht with your friends." - regan stephens, sydney mcelwee, candis mclean
"Sure, you could snack on peel-and-eat shrimp any time of day here, but the real reason you’re coming is all in the name. The sunset view looks like it could be on an actual postcard, and there’s a line of waterfront stools that give you an uninterrupted view. This place fills up fast between November and February, so if you're in town for the winter, try to show up with enough time before the sun clocks out to snag a good seat. If you can’t, that’s OK. They have a little side bar that’s accessible from Mallory Square, so you can grab a beer, and watch the sunset with the rest of the crowd. " - ryan pfeffer

"From car horns to Peleton instructors belting out Beyoncé lyrics while I’m facing certain sweat death, the noise in my daily life can be exhausting. So when heading to the shore for peace and sunsets, I need gorgeous views of the water, boats, and a fun spot to people watch. Sunset Pier gives you all of that. And while discussing with your friends what you would name your imaginary boat, you can’t go wrong with a fresh batch of steamers served with white wine, butter, and garlic sauce, or the spicy blackened grouper, at this bayside spot." - Candis R. McLean
"When you originally envisioned your trip to Key West, it probably looked a lot like Sunset Pier: a giant round bar on the edge of the water, a collection of rainbow-hued tables and chairs—each one with its own umbrella—that jut out along the wooden pier. (And make sure you’ve got enough juice in your phone to take a handful of pictures, because the 360-degree views are amazing.) You'll find more than a dozen craft beers, including several fruit-infused brews (like Miami Brewing Company’s Big Rod Coconut Ale and Florida Keys Brewing Company’s Hibiscus Kölsch) and a small, decent wine menu. But the bulk of the drinks menu are cocktails: mojitos, margaritas, fresh lemonades, frozen cocktails, and tropical drinks like the Hemingway Cuba Libre, a mix of rum, lime, and cane sugar cola from Mexico." - Jennifer M.
