Our hurricane season has opened and before we could say June 1st we are rained out by our first tropical depression of the season. Tropical depression aside, don't let the rain ruin your Key West holiday. You are still on an amazing little island in the middle of the Gulf Stream with lots to do and see. In fact the tropical rains cool down the sweltering heat and make walking around in the rain pleasant and rather romantic too. Take the opportunity to visit Key West sights you may have never thought of and discover the local charm of the island. Of course one great rainy day activity is to visit our independent cinema, the Tropic Cinema. A small town theater with great flicks, wine, chocolate, popcorn with (real butter), it is a fine way to spend a rainy afternoon. Ever walked the beach in the rain? Head to Smathers beach in bare feet and clothes that can get wet and take a leisurely stroll down the beach. The salt air whipping around you, the scent of the sea in your nose it is truly an invigorating experience. Meander through the West Martello Museum, it is an old fort filled to the brim with Key West history, facts, archives and memorabilia. One can easily spend the whole day engrossed in history. Art galleries are abundant in Key West and offer something for every taste and decor. Only a few blocks from the Mermaid is the Old Town Pottery studio that is well worth the visit. Unique pieces of island inspired art created by Adam and Kelly. The pieces are truly stunning. You may be able to watch them do their work right there if you walk in at the right time. Food, food and food. Rain or shine Key West boasts amazing restaurants in all different settings. Feast and enjoy the culinary aspect of our island. So much to do and so little time. Talk to your concierges Geri and Rebecca and let them guide you to some rainy day must-see stops. Don't let the rain, rain on your parade!
