The beach is undoubtedly a wonderful location, however, it may not be exactly as portrayed in the Google photos due to the presence of moss. We have shared our own pictures for your consideration. Moreover, the scent of the beach is slightly unpleasant, presumably due to the abundance of moss. Additionally, when entering the water, one may encounter an ample amount of moss. The seabed is somewhat muddy and pliable. Nevertheless, with a little effort, one can capture some stunning shots while concealing the moss.

This beach is a true gem! Not only is it completely free, but there are also plenty of shady spots to relax in. While street parking is available for a small fee, it's well worth it to enjoy the crystal-clear waters and stunningly unique sand. Don't miss out on this natural paradise!

My preferred beach destination in Key West is an absolute paradise. The serene atmosphere makes it a perfect spot to unwind and relax for the day. The crystal-clear water is just knee-deep, allowing you to wade in and soak up the sun. The beach is immaculately maintained, with the sand being of exceptional quality and minimal seaweed or muck. I recommend parking near the airport and taking a leisurely stroll along the path to reach this heavenly destination.

The beach is absolutely stunning and provides a serene atmosphere to witness the breathtaking sunset, especially during my visit in February. Although the view of the water may not be ideal for those seeking a perfect setting, the overall ambiance is incredibly tranquil and calming.
