What Key West Sponge Market is known for
Set near the harbor where Key West's sponging fleet once worked the shallows of the Gulf, this shop sells natural sea sponges hand-picked for bathing, along with wooden sponge caddies and sponge sticks that nod to the trade's late-19th-century heyday. The stock stays narrow and specific to sponge products rather than expanding into general souvenirs.
