Discover the Magic of Rain Barrel Village! 🎨🌴🦞

“Wandering around Rain Barrel Village is an artistic journey through some of the best the Upper Keys has to offer. There are art galleries, studios, gardens, and even a few snack bars. While you pass many galleries and studios along the Overseas Highway between Key Largo and Key West, this is one of the only places to park your car and explore for hours.”

From vibrant murals to unique sculptures (including our famous giant lobster by the name of Betsy!), every corner is filled with creativity and island charm.

Come see why visitors keep coming back!
