I was in the Florida Keys and snorkeled at two outstanding reefs: Grecian Rocks in the John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, and Chica Rocks, from a charter at Robbie’s at Mile Marker 77.

Salt Life is a fantastic company that started here in the beaches area and chances are, if you’re a beaches resident, your auto’s rear window sports one of their decals. Mine does. Along with my own atlantic beachlife decal too, but of course!
They sell all manner of cool Salt Life merchandise, all related to love of ‘salt life’. I picked up a couple of tees for my daughter and me the other day, in fact. I love the logo and what it stands for. A love for life near the ocean, and I guess that’s what I’m about here at atlantic beachlife! And they’ve licensed the concept to a restaurant which I am excitedly watching as it takes shape by the day. It’s a terrific looking style from the exterior, very beachy and unique. Salt Life merchandise can be found online and in stores in several states, and it’s just a design that speaks to my inner being.
(she, in hers. she doesn’t like being my ‘twin’ so i’ll wear mine another time.)
I’ll be back to post more about my trip to the Keys later!
aaahhh! wish I was there esp after storm we just had!
I love to snorkel in the Keys!!! Can't wait to read more!!!
Ahhh warm water and beaches really do depict the Salt Life style well. Where we are, it's a bit too "salty" for enjoying the seas right now! Enjoy!
On a cold, windy, dreary Toronto day it is always so nice to visit your blog and dream of the beach.
