2. • Stretching a full mile, this is a great
beach for swimming. It is located in
Bahia Honda State Park and is
considered one of the most beautiful
beaches in Florida. This a great place
for families, as the offshore reef
keeps the water calm and shallow,

enjoy the sun and sand. Beach chairs,
umbrellas, and sporting equipment are
all available for rent on the beach, and
food trucks are around to keep beach-
goers well fed.

4. • For a beach that is a little less crowded,
this is it! This secluded area is only
accessible via a catamaran ride, and the
two-hour ride is well worth it. The
catamaran takes visitors through the
waters around the park which showcase
the leatherback sea turtles, shipwrecks,
and stunning reefs. Concierge Vacation
Services recommends an underwater
camera as a great way to capture the
beauty of the sea while scuba diving or
snorkeling in these uncrowded waters.
