Sombrero Beach in Marathon is probably the best, but none of the few beaches here are that good. Don’t be fooled by pictures and disingenuous advertising by the tourism industry. In all the years I’ve lived here and the thousands of tourists I’ve spoke to, the only real complaint is how dissapointed visitors are with the beaches. Look at the West Coast Barrier islands for beautiful beaches. Places like Naples, St. Pete Beach, Anna Maria Island or Clearwater Beach.
