It's not every day you can drive to an island. Driving to Florida Keys is the perfect trip we've ever been. Here is one of my favorite beach at the Keys: The Sombrero Beach in Marathon, FL. The Sombrero Beach is a stretch of public beach just off the Overseas Highway and has been developed to allow a range of activities to take place. Play beach games; go swimming, kayaking or snorkeling; and lounge in the sun at one of Marathon’s most visited beaches.
The atmosphere is very calm and pleasant. The water is clean less seaweeds compare to Miami beach and there were no rocks or seashells on the ocean to hurt your foot. We enjoy relaxing in shady groves provided by the coconut palms that line the beach. It has a mixture of people here but the people that we encountered were very friendly both local and tourist they were always willing to help and suggest other areas to go to.

| This is by far the best beach that we've seen in the Florida Keys. |

| Welcome to Florida Keys! |
Swimmers will love exploring the deeper water, where tropical fish and turtles swim around. From April until October, Sombrero Beach is a nesting site for loggerhead turtles, and some areas of the beach are protected.
 |
| Florida Keys still recovering from the damage made by Hurricane Irma, you can tell by the trees how hard they got hit. |
 |
| Bathroom nearby and free parking. Really couldn't get any better than that. |
 |
| Perfect spot to park our Jeep. |

I love the Keys, so I would love to go there. I've only ever driven through them on my way to Key West, so I would love to stop and explore some of the other keys.
ReplyDeleteWe have never been down to the Florida Keys to visit. Man does that beach look wonderful. I can feel myself relaxing just looking at the photos.
ReplyDeleteYes this is one of the best beaches we have been so far while in Florida Keys. It so nice to relax and unwind sometimes.
DeleteThis is such a gorgeous area. I am a fan of being by the beach, so I'd love to go here one day.
ReplyDeleteThe sky and the ocean look stunning. I would love to be there right now.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little bit disappointed too seeing lots of seaweeds in Miami Beach but overall it was a great trip. The Panhandle Florida is the best for me!.
ReplyDeleteThat looks absolutely stunning! I have been to Florida many times but not down to the Keys. I really want to go there and these pictures make that want to even stronger.
ReplyDeleteFlorida Keys is an amazing place to visit. Everything is expensive but at least the have plenty beaches to choose from that is free!
DeleteThe pictures of those unspoiled beaches are so inviting. With summer coming I am hoping to get to the beach soon. I would love to get to the Keys someday.
ReplyDeleteIt really is very inviting especially in person. You'll see some damage from the Hurricane Irma but you will be amaze how business and other public beaches recovered from this natural disaster.
DeleteI love Florida! This was year was my first time actually visiting one of the beaches though. Would love to visit this beach the next time I'm in florida.
ReplyDeleteWe love Florida we go there at least once a year. Hope you had a great tie on your next visit.
DeleteThis beach sure looks like every bit of paradise. And without crowds and parking issues, it makes it so easy to just take it all in.
ReplyDeleteYes the free parking and less crowds is a BIG plus for this beautiful and very popular vacation spot in Florida.
DeleteComing from an archipelago where I see beautiful beaches everywhere, I could really determine a nice beach from not. And I could say that the Key is a piece of paradise
ReplyDeleteI was raised and born in the Island of Philippines. I have high expectation when it comes to beaches. Florida is one of the best State that has breathtaking beaches I have ever seen. It reminds me of my home!
DeleteWow, this looks like amazing. I am so over due for some time at the beach. I wish it was in my budget to travel more often.
ReplyDeleteThat water and sand is stunning! I am such a beach bum during the summer, this looks like an amazing place to vacation.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish we all can go to beach whenever we can. I live 8 hrs away to the Panhandle. Going there yearly is what we like to do. To get out from the normal routine.
DeleteThis looks incredible! We have wanted to visit Florida for so long, and this sounds like a beautiful place to visit. We love finding places to swim, and this looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteWe love beach and we love researching for new places to visit. I hope next time you and your family will make it to Florida.
DeleteWe live in Colorado - boy do I miss the beach! I need some beach time, and this place looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteColorado was a pretty State but yes I agree you can't compare beach to mountain that's for sure!
DeleteAll of these photos just remind me that I'm not going to the beach this year!! Dang it!!
ReplyDeleteSummer is just started you still have time to make plans. :)
DeleteWent there several times. Just love it. I just was devastated to see what it looked like after Irma. So much damage. Couldn’t even tell it was the same place. Sooo sad.
ReplyDeleteI am in love with this view! I am a beach fanatic and I can’t wait to go back to Florida someday soon.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me miss the beach so much! I love your photos. :D I'll definitely take note of this place when I'm in this part of the world.
ReplyDeleteI've been to the keys several times but not this spot. I'm going to have to check it out after reading this.
ReplyDeleteIts a nice article I am damn sure this will be best and interesting information for me and all the travelers. Coming back from side trips from los angeles. I will again visit this article and sharer this information with my friends.
