This beach is located in the last park before you hit the Keys. It's a fair distance from the city, but worth the visit. Furthermore, one of the beaches in the area really looks lush, tropical with palm trees , and is very shady. The water is so clear and the sand is fine, as well as the atoll pool is unique in the area. Close to the Biscayne National Park, you can do some snorkeling and see the beautiful coral reefs. There are food and drinks stands, picnic tables and grills, restrooms and showers and a large playground. Fishing is permitted as long as you follow rules and bring your own equipment. Lifeguards and beach patrol on duty, so you will be happy to just kick back and relax! - Mercedes de Marchena
