Key West Lighthouse Sunset Experience

Key West Lighthouse Sunset Experience — Exclusive 360° Views & Wine Pairing

The Key West Lighthouse & Keeper’s Quarters Museum offers an elevated and unforgettable way to experience the island’s famous sunset. This exclusive 90-minute private evening invites small groups to enjoy sweeping 360-degree views of Old Town Key West, the ocean horizon, and landmarks like the Hemingway Home from the lighthouse’s historic observation deck.

Guests are greeted at 938 Whitehead Street, where they are guided through the grounds and the restored keeper’s quarters. Each reservation includes a complimentary bottle of wine or Prosecco and a gourmet charcuterie board from UVA Wine Shoppe, featuring vegan and vegetarian options. It’s a tranquil setting to relax before ascending the 88-step spiral staircase to the top of the tower for breathtaking views and photo opportunities as the sun sinks over the island.

The experience is designed for 2–4 guests at $325 or 5–8 guests at $425, with a special proposal package at $600, perfect for couples seeking a romantic evening or friends and families wanting an upscale, crowd-free alternative to Mallory Square. Free cancellation and instant confirmation ensure a smooth booking process, with flexible start times determined by sunset hours.

From candlelit seating on the museum lawn to panoramic skyline vistas, every moment reflects Key West’s blend of history, charm, and island beauty. Guests can extend the experience by visiting the museum shop, where ticket holders enjoy 15% off, or by simply soaking in the twilight glow that lingers long after sunset.

Tips for Visitors:

• Arrive early to enjoy the setting and the provided wine and board.

• Wear comfortable shoes for the climb and bring a camera for stunning sunset photos.

• Holiday and peak-season pricing may apply.

• The lighthouse tower is not ADA-accessible due to its historic staircase.

This intimate experience by the Key West Art & Historical Society transforms a simple sunset into a sophisticated event of history, romance, and timeless island views — a highlight for any Key West itinerary.
