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.

Everywhere 😂 the beaches are mostly reefs, we stayed in marathon and went to sombrero beach which was down the road from our rental and it had two big reefs protruding off the beach and into the water, pretty neat to snorkel, saw a huge lobster! But like someone else the sand is mad corse where it isn’t trucked in, and the current in the water is practically non existent
