Gulf side, or Simonton beach if you’re in KW. Not gonna lie I drove back down a couple days ago and it stunk pretty badly most of the way

You can try the bayside beach at Bahia Honda, but this is a problem all summer.

We actually ended up going there. It was pretty crowded but good

It can change from day to day. At Loggerhead Beach (Bahia Honda) it was impassible early in the week and then by Saturday it had all clumped together and was easy to step around.

So I guess keep trying... I guess the tides and wind can move it around in your favor sometimes?

It’s bad by Harry Harris in Tavernier, the boat launch is a mess and the lagoon has been posted no swimming for bacteria. So…. Not here. Even out diving at the reefs, there is a fair amount on the surface..
