About
One reviewer described the Key West AIDS Memorial as 'a beautiful and poignant spot,' with names etched into granite along the pier walkway. This outdoor tribute sits in a tropical setting near the ocean, offering a quiet place to reflect. The names of those lost to AIDS are inscribed on Zimbabwe granite slabs embedded in the path approaching White Street Pier. The site is free and open to all, blending remembrance with the natural beauty of Key West.
It's a peaceful stop during a beach stroll, especially at sunset when the light hits the granite. The memorial is accessible 24/7, as it's part of the public walkway. For more local LGBTQ+ history, continue to the Key West Rainbow Crosswalk nearby.
