This hidden gem is not so hidden – in fact; a gigantic lobster named Betsy marks its entrance. The Village is a collection of galleries featuring local art, sculptures, crafts and jewelry. You can enjoy a stroll through the shops and even watch the artists create some of their masterpieces right in front of you. All of the artwork that you will see during your visit is available for purchase, so you can take a piece of the Keys with you when you leave.Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens featured image

Former residence of sculptor Ann Weaver Norton, this two-acre property features 250 species of rare tropical palms and cycads and 100 works of art spotted throughout. Among these works of art are nine monumental garden sculptures made of brick and granite contrasting the natural beauty in which they are found. Norton intended these sculptures to mimic the experience of entering another world in their monstrosity and abnormal design.
