Unique Beach:
We consider ourselves fortunate to have a sandy beach in the Keys!
Please be aware of the unique nature of the beaches throughout the Florida Keys - we are an island made of rock coral.
Most of the Florida Keys are NOT known for long stretches of white sand, in fact, some Keys beaches aren't even very sandy,
but they are a unique shallow habitat somewhat protected from erosion by the reefs which run parallel to our islands.
Our islands are made of fossilized coral rock, so there are rocky patches throughout the Keys.
Beach time is an essential part of any Keys visit, but it usually not the sole focal point.
If you are looking for miles and miles of wide sandy beaches and big waves, this is NOT the place for you.
We'd like you to appreciate your Florida Keys visit with realistic expectations and enjoy our island atmosphere
for what it is rather than what it isn't. If you are looking for a relaxing beach from which to view tranquil blue-green waters,
spectacular sunsets and sunrises this is the place! There are outstanding opportunities for snorkeling, swimming, diving, kayaking,
boating, fishing and outdoor water sports of all kinds; viewing ocean wild life is a wonderful experience here.
There is a rich history and places to visit that range from early settlements, the seafaring trades to the homes of notable people
from authors to presidents, all who have spent substantial time in the Keys and left their mark here.
