An amazing beach if you want to escape the crowds of South Beach. It's super quiet, with a very relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. The sand is clean and the water is beautiful. Just come prepared: it's a more natural beach, so there are no public restrooms or chair rentals right on the sand. The good thing is there’s a Publix and several shops close by on the main avenue to grab whatever you need. Highly recommended!
