Nascrab

The Crow's Nest at the Tween Waters Inn Island Resort in Captiva Island, Florida offers something that is definitely off the beaten path, NASCRAB. To those unfamiliar with this concept, this means races between those ever lovable beach souvenirs also known as hermit crabs.

The races are provided on Monday and Thursday evenings while patrons are either eating, indulging in beverages, or a combination of the two. There are even seats available right beside the race track for those willing and/or wanting to actually touch the crabs.

The races are offered twice each evening and have their own emcee. The first race time is at 6 pm and is family friendly. The second race time is at 10 pm and has more of an adult theme to it. Customers lay down money to pick their racer and even get to name them. The emcee provides running commentary on the racers, the "owners," and the patrons. He has a sharp wit and is not afraid to have a little fun at anybody's expense so everyone in attendance should be aware they could be the object of some of the jokes. However, while the barbs may be a little on the edge, they are family friendly for the most part.
