Name: Without a doubt, this beach is among the most exceptional ones I have ever visited. The water is so calming and warm, and the sand is incredibly soft to the touch. While my children had a blast searching for unique seashells, my spouse and I enjoyed a breathtaking sunset. The playgrounds here are well-maintained, and it feels like you're in Rio with the green parrots flying about. This is a fantastic destination for families to relish while vacationing in Florida.

We went to the beach in early February and it wasn't crowded at all. The parking fee is $5, which you can pay at the machines, and it allows you to park anywhere in the park until 9:00 pm. The park has fantastic bike paths that cover the entire area, and the views are absolutely stunning!

There are few offers for accommodation in the beach area, so finding a suitable place to stay can be a problem. You can use the map search to get more information about this.

The hottest month of the park is August - air temperature during this time warms up to 30°C and water up to 30.9°C. The coldest month is January - air temperature drops to 19.3°C and water to 19.4°C.
