Florida Keys and Key West Beaches
Unlike the beaches in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, the "Keys" beaches are smaller and much less crowded.
They have less sand, and many of the beaches are surrounded by mangroves.
Some are scattered with occasional rocks, but easily negotiated while strolling along!
In fact, the only similarity to the northern beaches is the climate!
If you take the comparison a little further, you'll find that the "Keys" beaches seem more, well, personable.
For me, the Florida Keys and Key West beaches are as laid back as the island ambience itself!
Quick Reference to the Beaches!
