I was disappointed by this place... Aside from the "few" local artists- with which I did purchase something- this place has the same souvenirs as every other shop in the keys

Everytime I visit Key Largo I make sure to stop here. I just love to shop here and look at the beautiful artwork. It is a neat place with a couple of different shops and galleries.

If your frustrated with the numerous "shell stands" along US1 and looking for something unique, stop by The Rain Barrel. Much original art, jewelry and other gifts at reasonable prices. After you enter, you walk through one store and it pans out into a little village with individual shoppes. Very cute idea, many really nice things for reasonable prices.

It used to be more local art... a lot of knickknacks and not many locals, although there's some great pottery in the back. We went on a Tuesday and a lot of shops don't open on Tuesday.

This a very fun way to see local crafts. From glass to pottery, see how the ocean inspires artisans to create unique jewelry and sculptures and more. What you see here is much more reasonably priced than at souvenir and specialty shops at prime locations throughout the keys. So, stop in to these modest shops and treat yourself to some... More

Look for the giant lobster and pull in to visit several small shops with souvenirs and hand made jewelry and artwork. There is a small food vendor and bathroom to help encourage the break in your drive up or down the Keys. My wife found an interesting piece of jewelry at Seaside Glassworks which is one of the shops housed... More

Loved the Tropical Zen shop and the Seaside Glassworks shops. These people truly have a passion for what they are selling. The glassworks items are beautiful and unique. I bought several pieces as mementos of my vacation here in Islamorada.

The Rain Barrel does have lots of little shops - the majority of which have lots of 'Keys' tchotchke souvenir type stuff that can be picked up in lots of spots throughout the keys and Florida. There were a couple of specialty shops - Jewelery, pottery, glass and paintings. A nice spot to stroll and pick up a thing or... More

Ware are very overpriced. They have had the same products and displays for many years. There never seems to be a lot of new vendors or artists.
