Take a selfie with Betsy the Lobster! Then, stroll through our tropical gardens and step into our intimate studios to browse the best in handmade crafts, contemporary artwork, beachwear, home goods and Florida Keys-inspired souvenirs.

What do lobster traps and art have in common? Our Islamorada-based gift shop and gallery has the answer: tropical artwork in repurposed lobster trap frames. When we took an art class in 2002, we had no idea that our hobby would evolve into a full-blown store and website by 2003. Now, our in-person and online visitors are dazzled not only by our signature frames and paintings that line the gallery walls but also by our underwater photographs, apparel designs, gifts, and other brightly-colored items. We can create custom lobster-trap frames for pieces you bring in, and we can even custom-print your photos onto a wide variety of items in less than 15 minutes! Inspired by our travels in the Caribbean and the Florida Keys, our store speaks to art lovers both near and far.
