Very pretty beach with not as many people as some beaches have. The days I went, there were some rough surfs and alot of Man-O-Wars and signs were posted. After the climb up from the parking area ,which can be rough (or impossible) for handicapped and elderly, there are some tiki huts available to sit under for some shade.

We low-life who don't live on the island weren't consulted even though Florida tax money is contributing to the project. (If I'm wrong about any of this, please post a review with a...
Read moreThis is a great Beach if you want something a little out of the way, quiet and very family-friendly. The beach has a lot of rocks on it which is a little unusual for South Florida but this is an area where you can take a few minute walk and be all by yourself with the whole Beach to yourself. Lots of little reefs to snorkel and the grilling and picnic area is on the top of the Dune so the view is great and most of them have a tiki hut to shade you from the Sun. One of my favorite beaches to take the family for a Sunday afternoon picnic. It also has two hour free parking which is hard to find...
