Florida Keys BeachesUnlike elsewhere in Florida, the Florida Keys, with one notable exception, is not the place for finding prime, sandy beaches. The beaches of the Florida Keys are made up of coral and shell sediments and the texture is very different from the powered fine sand found elsewhere on the Florida coastline. To cater for the convenience and enjoyment of their guests, many resorts have constructed their own protected beaches. Bahia Honda Key (12 miles (19 kms) south of Marathon on US1) is located in Bahia Honda State Park. Known as one of the most peaceful beaches in Florida, it is set in 635 acres of nature trails and a portion of Henry Flagler's famous railroad passes by the beach. Bahia Honda is unique among the Keys, offering extensive sandy beaches combined with deep waters close offshore to provide top class swimming and snorkeling. Smather's Beach (A1A, west of Key West Airport and South Roosevelt Blvd., Key West) is the southernmost beach in the United States and is located near many major Florida Keys accommodation properties. It offers a white, sandy beach with plenty of shade and restrooms. Concession stands offer rentals of chairs, towels, snorkling equipment and even catamarans. There is plenty of food and beverages vendors, picnic tables, showers and bathrooms. |
