Nothing says vacation like sand and waves, and nothing says relaxation like the beaches of Florida Keys.
Our beach sand is special. Beaches in the Keys are manmade, but the waves of sand are soft and squishy between your toes. Some grains look like bits of oatmeal, fashioned by special algae which thrive in Marathon's warm waters, these specks contribute much of the sea bottom and beaches surrounding the Keys.
Broad acres of sargassum seaweed flourish in the wake of the Gulf Stream, mixed in with tiny clumps of the golden-brown algae that washes ashore,atop the sand. Take a handful and shake it out. You'll find small shrimp, fish and tiny crabs that make a home in this habitat. This small sea life is at the foundation of marine organisms.
Beaches vary from spits of sand paralleling the mangrove trees along the Overseas Highway to wide open state parks and recreation areas. Top on the list is Sombrero Beach, located in Marathon, and is one of the Keys' finest beaches and home to the world's only beach launch for the famous Dragon Boat Races.
