A new clothing store that opened in April is bringing a selection of styles that have class but also wonât get in the way of the many island activities the Florida Keys have to offer.
Southern Tide has opened its newest location in Islamorada. The brand was founded in 2006 in Greenville, South Carolina, and is best known for its âSkipjack polo,â according to a press release. The company had a partnership with Cheeca Lodge & Spa at one point but when an opportunity for a standalone retail store came up, it sprang on the location.
âWhat better place to open our latest store than in Islamorada, which is known as the sport fishing capital of the world,â CEO Chris Heyn said in a release. âThe community embodies our outdoor lifestyle and affinity for the water and we look forward to safely serving residents and visitors alike.â

Lighthouse Point, Eleuthera.
NASSAU, BAHAMAS Local environmental groups said last night that Disney’s Lighthouse Point development represents a “major decision” for Eleuthera and The Bahamas as a whole, noting that “the world is watching”.
Bahamas Reef Environmental Educational Foundation (BREEF) Executive Director Casuarina McKinney-Lambert, during a public consultation via Zoom on the controversial project, noted: “We wrote to Disney and offered to cooperate with them to ensure that their EIA (environmental impact assessment) meets the high standards expected of such a well-known company.

It’s Wood Stork nesting season! That’s good news, but the birds seem to be nesting in lower numbers than in previous years. The drying swamp could be one of the reasons Corkscrew continues to be drier than it should be thanks to canals that drain it. Learn more at the Naples Daily News and Audubon Florida.
