Sandspur Island — Attraction in North Miami

Sweet hangout spot for locals and tourists alike! Also known as Racoon Island or Beer Can Island the place is home to about 30 rather tame racoons who are healthy and sweet photo/video subjects. Please be kind to them and stay calm around these curious little bandits. Due to all the activity the city does a good job of trash collecting so, please 🙏, use the garbage cans and dispose of litter appropriately. As a reward your trophy can be a cool shell (naturally empty ONLY) and/or a cool chunk of coral. I captain boats in the area sometimes and I'll be very vocal towards anyone disrespecting the place, wildlife or other visitors. So, come have fun and meet some new friends. If you want a ride, there was 1 guy who found me somehow but, alas, Google doesn't want me to share specific contact information for myself. 😂 👍 and hitchhiking is tough in these parts 👍 See y'all...

This happens when people refuse to take care of our planet and litter; not knowing there are consequences. There is one side that boats can’t access, and the water is tranquil and clear. Definitely check out this island and bring enough...

So many raccoons on the island—it was wild! I don’t know if they’re really suffering, though. I saw a few comments saying they were dehydrated. We brought a huge bottle of water, and they did drink some, but honestly, they didn’t seem that thirsty. Even with food, they looked pretty well-fed! Maybe it’s tougher for them during the off-season, but with all the people there that day, they seemed to be doing just fine.

What really broke my heart, though, was seeing so much trash everywhere. We picked up as much as we could, but seriously—people, take your garbage with you! I even saw some idiots cramming their trash into bins that were already overflowing. Come on,...
