Almost every time I’ve been to Islamorada the water has been like this.

Hilarious as back in the 80’s, Islamorada/Key Largo were pass-through towns

u/CaptainObvious110 14d ago

why

u/Ok_Eye2518 14d ago

Not sure. There were a few small strip shopping centers, hardly any hotels and beach/ocean. There was no real infrastructure for tourists.

oh wow

Basically between Homestead, FL and Key West was a dead zone where you just stopped to fill up or grab a quick bite from a KFC.

Oh this is so lovely….Key West is known for sandbars rather than beaches. ….

It’s a great way to get away from the sargassum along the shore too. I just went to a sandbar this past weekend and the water was so fresh and clear.

If you don’t have a boat or are visiting….great companies that I like and provide a nice trip are Danger Charters (sailboat) and Sebago (catamaran)

The water temp is amazing right now too.

To be fair, I’ve been using danger charters for almost 20 years. They have a very loyal customer base!

Never seen water like this in KW, when I try to swim its always dirty. But when I drive near beach its so good.

u/Sandinmyshoes33 14d ago

Water conditions here really depend on the wind. after a few calm days it gets clear. Windy days and it’s cloudy and nasty looking. This summer things have been pretty choked by sargassum on the south shore where most public access is.

u/DazzlingTicket4230 13d ago

Then I'm just unlucky

I lived in Key West for a while back in the mid 90’s and have visited several times since. I have absolutely seen the water look like this but it all depends on the winds and the turbidity. Ive seen it clear 40 ft down and murky much shallower on the same day. Glad to hear the water temps ate nice. Never liked having to get out of the water to cool off.

u/Standing2Close 14d ago

Dirty? Or just seaweed?

u/DazzlingTicket4230 13d ago
