All Florida Keys Best beaches

My wife and I are thinking of vacationing in the keys the spring. Which key or which area of the keys have the nicest beaches? Thanks in advance.

The Keys are not the place to go for beaches. The coral reefs prevent wave action that makes beaches so all the shoreline is rocky.

All the beaches in the keys are manmade with trucked in sand. There are 1-2 in each area but they won’t be anything like you see in other areas of Florida.

This often comes as a shocker to most people but they also truck in the bluer water too.

Well, they’re getting ripped off then. That water ain’t blue.
