Lobsterfest.jpgThe Key West Lobsterfest is just around the corner, drawing scores of seafood fans and beach bums to the Conch Republic for a colorful celebration of everybody's favorite crustacean. From August 7-9, 2009, the island will come alive with succulent seafood, live music, and a street fair to commemorate the start of "open" lobster season. According to tradition, many restaurants in Key West offer to cook the fresh spiny lobsters that divers bring in throughout the month of August, preparing a variety of tantalizing specials that feature the sweet tail meat from the abundant sea critters. Combined with a generous portion of "pinks," which are the shrimp native to the area, it makes this restaurant-rich island that much more of a foodie's paradise. The Sheraton Suites Key West is just minutes from all the action, and more than a dozen special hotel offers make it a perfect place to stay for this unique Key West experience. If you get the urge to catch a few of these "bugs" for yourself, the front desk can even happily arrange a diving trip for you.
