This man-made beach is the longest in Key West. Amenities include restrooms, ample parking, concession stands, chair rentals, bike paths, picnic tables, volleyball nets, watersports rentals - jet skiiing, parasailing, and windsurfing. Step across the dune onto the sidewalk for some Italian Ice or a hot dog. Vendors set up in parking spaces along the road all up and down the beach. Partially destroyed by Hurricane Wilma in 2005, this beach has been re-built.
