This beach is way out of the way from mainland FL. It takes 2-3 hours to get all the way down to this key as its near Key West. If you are down in the keys already, then its an easy trail to get to it. You drive to the end of the road and walk about a half mile on a paved road, past the Naval Base runway.
You can see in the photo that they land right on the other side of the fence. Water on one side, fence on the other. |
Privacy: 7
There are lots of trees on this beach, but the beach is only 300 ft or so long, so if there are 5-10 people, you may have difficulty finding space unless you venture onto govt. land (which we do not suggest!). Below you can see a fence they put up to keep folks out.

This section is here because sometimes an area can have wild life that is dangerous or endangered and needs some attention. That we saw, this beach has sand crabs, tropical fish, coral, birds and mosquitos. This is right by the airport so many critters are not present due to the action and noise.
*Please don't touch coral. It dies when being touched/stepped on. *Though we didn't see any, sharks are always a possibility. *Mosquitos are not super prevalent, but come prepared at night fall. |
