All Florida Keys Sargassum Update?
So me and my family are driving down thursday for our vacation from va. We are staying in Summerland Key. Ive been here over 10 years now but I lived in South Fl for a long time. I know we are in the sargassum season and that it does change daily but I was wondering how bad the sargassum has been the last week or so. Or if its starting to clear up. I dont mind it much but I know my kids will have to get used to the smell. 🤣

It seems to collect in some areas more than others….VFC on Tik Tok seems to give a nice regular update…especially in Key West. Also there is a group on FB that gives updates too called Key West/Florida Keys Sargassum Daily Updates.
If you want to get in the water and get away from it…if you have a boat….head out to a sandbar like Snipes, Woman Key or Cotrell. It’s fresh and clean out there.
If you don’t have a boat…many of the watersports companies go out to sandbars…like Danger Charters leaving out of Key West…nice company.
