Hurricane Helene's powerful floods moved Mermaid Rebel from her home at the Hernando Beach Motel, but thanks to Steve Daniels and his son from @drone_mafia_production_llc she’s been found and brought safely back! 💙

Rebel now shines brightly at The Silver Dolphin Restaurant, where locals and visitors can stop by to see her. 🐬 Come welcome Rebel back and enjoy a bite to eat at this beloved Hernando Beach spot!
