Hello Key Biscayne!

Have you been late somewhere this week? School’s back in session and so is the traffic. Not to worry, though, as traffic doesn’t affect delivery of the Rag.

Paint it blue

You know we love the Beach Club around here, so here’s an update: recently the club’s gotten a bit of a refresh, with a new coat of paint, a cheery accent color, and new umbrellas and beach chairs. The kitchen is also being renovated to make way for a new food vendor.

In the news

Piddle PADL More than a year in the making, a couple of key rats have finally gotten their paddleboard rental kiosks up and running. The idea, which was almost sidelined when a jealous kiteboarder complained, works much like a bike rental, so now you can go to the beach park and unlock a paddleboard with your phone. At $20/hour it’s a pretty good deal, especially if you end up stealing it when you’re done 🏄🏽‍♀️
