How can you help the Keys post Irma?
A lot of people are asking how they can help the Keys post Irma … the answer is simple….
The best way you can help is to come down and support your favorite places! I’m in the Upper Keys (Key Largo/Islamorada) where things are slowly but steadily getting back to normal. There are still signs of Irma here, it’ll be a while till she’s erased, but most of your favorite places are open and they need your support to get through this.

Almost every restaurant has reopened. They might have a spray painted sign on plywood telling you so but they’re open. I think it gives the Keys an even more Keysy feel 🙂 A bunch of dive operators are running daily trips too: Rainbow Reef, Horizon Divers & Ocean Divers to name a few. If you want to paddle, I highly recommend checking out Paddle! The Florida Keys. They have some great deals going on right now and can take you on an awesome paddle. Why not take a tour of toilet seat cut then grab a beer at the Florida Keys Brewing Company? That sounds like a great Keys day to me!
We have cold drinks, gorgeous sunsets, great paddles & diving waiting for you! If you need any tips on what to do or where to go, let me know! Hope to see you soon!
