Schooners, The Last Local Beach Club, will host the 19th Annual Lobster Festival & Tournament again this year: the biggest 3 - Day Lobster Festival in Florida. With huge Local Lobsters on the weigh-in scales, fresh lobster prepared every mouth-watering way you can imagine, and the 10th Annual Schooners Sand Sculpting Contest, it is a HUGE event that draws thousands of divers and lobster fans from all over the Southeast. Lobster Tournament divers will be competing in a variety of categories including Spiny Lobster, Shovelnose Lobster and Big 6. It will be held September 19, 20 & 21, 2008.

The final weigh-ins will begin Saturday and end Sunday when the grand prizes will be awarded and all the spectators enjoy a Lobster Feast! Fresh, fresh, FRESH local Lobster grilled, fried, sauteed, broiled, chilled, steamed, blackened, whole, halved, skewered...you get the idea.

This year Schooners will donate the proceeds from the event to the Children's Home Society of Florida and the Florida Aquatic & Marine Institute.

"This event will provide much needed help to the Children's Home Society, a program that works to develop, restore and strengthen families. They help loving people become parents through their adoption and foster care programs. They enable families to stay together through their child abuse prevention programs. Along with helping FAMI who's three main purposes are: Habitat development, fisheries research and environmental education for elementary education for elementary age children."

The very popular Sand Sculpting Contest is now in its 10th year taking place on the beach in front of Schooners on Saturday. This year's festivities also feature Sanding Ovations, award winning Sand Sculptors.

Bring your camera and pose with one of the big ones!
