Rain Barrel Village is a charming open-air complex in the Florida Keys, known for its tropical garden setting and wide variety of shops. Visitors can enjoy browsing through galleries, boutiques, and craft shops offering local art, handmade crafts, custom jewelry, and resort wear. The village features a popular photo spot with Betsy the Lobster, a giant lobster sculpture, which is a must-see for visitors.

Visitors can also talk to artists, take pictures, and grab a bite at the food trucks or eateries. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, making it a great place for families, couples, or anyone traveling down Overseas Highway. Whether stopping for souvenirs, enjoying the tropical gardens, or just taking a break, Rain Barrel Village offers something for everyone and has been a favorite destination for over 40 years.
Stopped here on a rainy Tuesday last week and walked around a bit. Most of the stores contained local goods and wares. Vibe was a bit slow due to the weather but still enjoyed my visit here. I would recommend anybody driving through the Keys to make a stop in.

Totally Awesome 😎 we didn't expect such a fun shop. It's a must see.
Best for Islamorada's Best Shopping Because: The 40-foot-long lobster lures visitors off the highway, but the artisan village full of local arts and crafts keeps them there.
