Home of the World Famous Betsy the Lobster
The first thing people notice about Rain Barrel Village is Betsy the Lobster—the 30-foot-tall, 40-foot-long sculpture that stands at the entrance of the property. A cherished must-see landmark, Betsy is a Florida Keys Spiny Lobster and symbol of Florida Keys wildlife that draws visitors for an unforgettable photo-op just off the Overseas Highway.

Some of Our Favorite Customer Reviews —
“When traveling through the Keys you can’t miss The Rain Barrel Village. It may actually be a law that you have to stop and take a mandatory tourist picture in front of it [Betsy the Lobster]. Once you have posted the picture to social media so everyone knows you are hanging out in paradise, it’s time to do some shopping.”
