Lobster Mini Season
Lobster Season in the Florida Keys: A Local Tradition of Flavor, Fun, and Florida Keys Living
If you're lucky enough to call the Florida Keys home—or dreaming about it—there’s one time of year that brings everyone together like no other: lobster season. It’s more than just a reason to dive in—it’s a way of life.
Every July, the spiny lobster migration brings divers, snorkelers, and seafood lovers down to our turquoise waters for what’s fondly known as the »lobster.mini.season‹, followed by the regular season that runs through March. It’s not just about the catch—it’s about the lifestyle.
Here in the Born household, the tradition is simple: steak and lobster. After a successful day on the water, the grill gets fired up, and the backyard turns into a feast under the palms. Friends, family, neighbors, and yes—even a few lucky real estate clients—have been known to join us for a bite and a toast to life in the Keys.
Why Lobster Season Reflects Keys Living:
• Adventure on the Water: Whether you’re spearfishing, snorkeling, or just cheering from the boat with a cold drink in hand, there’s no better way to experience the salt life.
• Fresh Catch, Fresh Perspective: Locals know that Keys living is all about sustainability, simplicity, and savoring the good stuff—just like real estate here.
• Community Vibes: Everyone has their favorite lobster hole, and nobody minds sharing stories (just maybe not the coordinates).
Thinking of Buying or Selling in the Florida Keys? Just like lobster season, timing is everything. Whether you're searching for that perfect waterfront property, a cozy Keys cottage, or a vacation home where you can host your own surf-and-turf tradition, I'm here to help you find it.
The Florida Keys market is unique—inventory shifts with the tides, and lifestyle drives value. And just like hunting lobster, a little local knowledge goes a long way.
So, whether you're in town for the season or considering making this paradise your permanent address, remember: the lifestyle here is as rich as the waters we dive into.
Come for the lobster, stay for the lifestyle. Let’s make your Florida Keys dream a reality.
