During our trip to the Keys in July, we decided to visit this beach and were pleasantly surprised. The snorkeling experience was phenomenal, and the water conditions were just right. This beach turned out to be the highlight of our beach exploration in the Keys, especially since kelp wash up was a common issue elsewhere. Although there was no sand, the beach proved to be an ideal spot for all ages, from young kids to adults. As a group of three adult women, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had an unforgettable time.

An excellent destination for a refreshing dip. It's worth noting that there is no sand, so remember to bring appropriate footwear for wading into the water. The location is also ideal for those interested in snorkeling.

This stunning beach cove is tucked away from the masses, offering a peaceful retreat. Keep in mind that the beach is rocky, so it's best to wear water shoes. Don't forget to bring a mask and snorkel to witness the abundant wildlife. Shade is limited, so consider bringing an umbrella if you plan on staying for a while. Take your time exploring, as there are hidden surprises waiting to be discovered in every nook and cranny.
