Shopping in Key West

  1. A

    Peppers of Key West

    For a downright shopping party, you should bring your favorite six-pack with you into this store and settle in at the tasting bar, where the entertaining owners use double entendres to hawk seriously mouth-burning hot sauces like their own Right Wing Sauce (use Liberally).

    Garcia Cigars

    There are plenty of cigar shops in Key West, but our favorite is this shackfront, where a sweet Cuban woman sells handrolled goods while she quotes and constantly reads the Bible, all in the face of the drunken screams of hundreds of horny frat boys.

    Pirate Soul

    Dedicated to all things swashbuckling, Pirate Soul has an impressive collection of pirate paraphernalia, glammed up with special effects that make it either exciting or a little cheesy, depending on your perspective.

    Montage

    Had a great meal or wild night at some bar or restaurant in the Keys? Well, this store probably sells the sign of the place (along with lots of Conch Republic tat), which makes for a nice souvenir.

    Island Style

    You’ll either love or loathe these pastel-and-tropical bright knick-knacks, furniture sets and homewares, but do visit, because the island’s aesthetic is heavily influenced by this sort of place.

    Project Lighthouse

    Lighthouse is a community organization that runs programs for street kids (Key West is a popular runaway destination); it partly supports itself by selling arts and crafts made by its charges.

    Dogs on Duval

    Pet accoutrement, like university sports jerseys for dogs, is on the rack behind – puppies! Heart-wrenchingly cute puppies. What, you don’t like puppies? Don’t talk to us.

    Leather Master

    Besides the gladiator outfits, studded jockstraps and S&M masks, they do very nice bags and shoes here. Which is what you came for, right?
