Wonderful place

Shady areas with picnic tables and charcoal grills at the top of the beach. The water was comfortable and you didn't have to go far for it to be deep enough to float and swim. There is a good snack bar and lounge chairs for rent. The only issue some people might have is the pebbles, stones, and coral . . . You'll need water shoes of some type.

Very pretty but definitely bring water shoes and chairs. Lots of rocks, hard to walk without shoes.

We were there week of October 3rd right after hurricane Ian had blown by. Damage was minimal but the beach sand that was there was completely washed away. This left nothing but the crushed coral to walk on. Water shoes or sandals were needed, fortunately for us we had ours. Water was murky but did manage to get some good beach snorkeling video. We did two mornings there and had a great time.

How many feet deep the beach is?

Irene Williams | Jul 26, 2022

They say this is the best swimming beach on Key West. Most of the beaches are either very rocky or covered with washed up sea weed making it nearly impossible to get to the water. If you want nice beaches try Siesta Key near Sarasota.

Is the public able to go to this beach? Or is this only for military personnel ? Also, it looks like there is room for RV parking, do they allow motorhomes?

Stacey Gaydos | Oct 24, 2021
Brant .Heaton | Oct 24, 2021

Yes there is tables and open to the public. I would be very reluctant to bring my RV. The parking lot is small, and you might end up having to take multiple spots from other people. There is an RV park on the property, but if I remember it was for park staff only. I would probably avoid an rv, or maybe park outside the park in one of the dirt lots and walk in.

How much is toll and can you see Cuba on a sunny day?

S Z | Oct 24, 2021
Kevin Fedigan | Oct 24, 2021

$2.50 if you walk or bike in. $4.50 for vehicle if alone, and any $6 plus $.50 per person for any vehicle with 2 or more people. The admission is good all day (so you can leave and come back), just hold onto your receipt. You won't be able to see Cuba, but you can see an amazing sunset from here. Also, wear water shoes if you have them as the beach is very rocky. If you want to see Cuba, head to the Southernmost Point on a clear night, and you *might* be able to see the lights of Cuba from there.

There are many toll roads on the mainland but a non-toll freeway takes you all the way from Key Largo to Key West called the Overseas Highway
