Next, I stopped by Sunset Beach in historic Tarpon Springs to see what all the hype was about. It…read morewas definitely much busier than Robert K. Rees Memorial Park. Families were enjoying the water, and they were even setting up for a wedding ceremony while I was there, which gave the beach a really warm, community feel. For me, though, I had the same experience I did at Robert K. Rees. As soon as I stepped into the water, I could feel a soft muddy layer mixed in with the sand under my feet. The water also looked like it had very little movement, almost as if it wasn't circulating much, which just wasn't appealing to me. I know plenty of people love this beach, and that's perfectly okay. It's simply not the kind of beach I'm searching for. I'm still on the hunt for those crystal-clear waters and firm, sandy bottom that make me want to stay all day.

I only come here for the 4th of July fireworks, and it's a dope place to be…read more Fireworks last 30 minutes and it's seriously consistent, with a great finale to end everything. I had a GREAT front row seat during the whole thing. You can either park on the Causeway or in the park I, chose the park. I believe the Causeway is a little bit overrated due to lack of shade , unless you plan on hanging out on the tailgate of your SUV or inside your Camper/Van. You need to make sure you get there early, I was there at 4:30pm and the fireworks starts at 9:00pm. There are things around to entertain you while you wait, I'm an extrovert so, I pretty much talked/met with a lot of people, it was very fun! All-In-All I'll be back next year with the same plan I had today! Totally worth it when it was only Free-hundred dollars!

This is where you can take those pics. They also have picnic tables. As for swimming, I would say no. So much seaweed and not enough water. I believe it's a combination of the tide and the lack of rain too. The parking here is $6 and you can pay through park mobile. They say no dogs and there are tons of signs. My pup and I stayed in our car while my husband went to check the water. It was a good reminder why we don't go to this beach. Unfortunately, this was the day of the craziness in Clearwater with the teen takeover with all the chaos.

You have to wade in the water to get to the rentals. But you are at the beach so get over it lol. My friends and I rented a four seater paddle boat. We peddled out a little ways and then let the current drift us for a while and just took in gorgeous scenery. It was extremely relaxing. I imagine on a busy day it is pretty crowded, but we lucked out and there were not many rentals in the water. You can see the bottom of the water and occasionally a fish would jump out to remind you that you are not alone. There were a few birds fishing too. I would highly recommend this spot if you are looking for some fun and relaxation. Try them out!

A good, affordable family day out!

The beach stretches out nicely so even when it is busy you can still find your own space. The sand is soft, the water is calm, and it is perfect for swimming, walking the shoreline, or just relaxing and soaking up the sun. We also enjoyed seeing the shells along the shore which made it even more fun. The park itself is very well maintained with clean facilities, plenty of parking, and easy access to the beach areas. There are also nature trails that give you a chance to see local wildlife and enjoy a quieter side of the park. Everything about the visit felt relaxing and well organized. It is the kind of place you can spend the whole day and never get bored. Easy 5 stars and one of the best beach spots in the area.

I really gotta be honest...To call this a beach is dishonest, and I'm genuinely shocked…read more At most, this is a park. Granted, the park area is a decent area for families or if you're walking your dog...But their "beach"? It is, at most, a seaweed and muck infested small shoreline that once had a defaced and rickety pier you could hang out on which unfortunately for the locals was destroyed by Hurricane Milton. Good luck finding any good parking too; Nothing is clearly outlined and it's mostly dirt roads. If you live near it or are looking for a park to hang out on, go ahead and enjoy it. But if it's a beach day you're planning for? I'd advise not to come here; Crystal "Beach" is nothing but an over-glorified park, so to even call it a beach is just downright insulting.
