In Key West, it’s always exciting when something new comes along. Living on a tiny island at the end of the road with endless summer weather, it’s easy for the days and even the seasons to blend together. Frankly, this post is overdue because a lot of new bars and restaurants have opened up over the last year. Here’s Fury’s new favorites!

Some people enjoy the lazy days of summer, but in Key West, and especially at Fury, we don’t get a break until after Labor Day. September is notorious for being a sleepy month on the island. That’s great for visitors scooping up off-season rates on accommodations and you’ll enjoy our tropical paradise sans the crowds. Some local restaurants close for vacation, but others stay open and offer great specials.

Dive bars. They hold a special place in the hearts of many. Come as you are, drink cheap, and have a great time. Although not always my cup of tea, I’ve definitely had some great times in the local dives. These classic Key West watering holes hit the spot when you want to kick back without care.

The traps have been set. It’s the start of lobster season. With ideal summer weather the last few days, the water has been placid and clear. Now the harbor is also dotted with buoys marking the traps. For our Key West parasailing captains, they’ve got to be vigilant and steer clear of them. For everyone else, it’s time to feast!

There is no denying that this island has heated up in a flash over the last couple of weeks. While many lament the humidity and the sweltering sun, most of us at Fury are thrilling over ideal conditions on the water. Hot sun, cool ocean, soft breeze, calm seas, and unlimited visibility at the reef.
Working in the sun can sometimes act as an appetite suppressant, but we all need fuel to get through the day. This time of year, we’re craving cold, fresh, and filling treats and meals. There’s not always a lot of time, so we’re big fans of anything that’s mobile and delivery is a must. Here’s a quick guide to some Fury-tested and approved quick bites to take the edge off the summer heat: (more…)
