It's a nice boardwalk right by the coast. It's free to visit and there's restrooms and pavilions with tables and trash cans. One can eat a picnic here. Due to the ecology of the Keys, this beach isn't like what one may think of when they hear the word "beach." It's not like the beaches in more Northern parts of Florida or the artificially constructed ones at some of the local resorts. There's no fine sand or rolling waves. A lot of the sediment near the water is clay-like, and the nearby ocean is shallow and, if I recall correctly, dominated by seagrass. The boardwalk is surrounded by mangroves and other plants, which are home to lots of life. One can see crabs, lizards, and various insects darting around. There's occasionally various species of birds here. At the time of writing, this beach, like much of the Keys, is covered in sargassum, which anaerobic bacteria decompose, producing foul-smelling hydrogen sulfide in the process. This can make visiting the place a bit unpleasant. I'd suggest checking to see if sargassum is a problem before visiting. There's also often biting insects in the area. I'd recommend bringing insects repellant. Overall, I think it's a nice, free place to walk and enjoy the local environment. Just don't expect an idyllic beach. read more

It was our first stop while en route to KW. it easy to see why this would be a popular beach for families with small children or for people with pets. one of Islamorada's best attractions for the avid beachgoer. While the Florida Keys in general do not offer a large variety of sandy beaches, this little stretch located at Mile Marker 73.4 Oceanside offers a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the day, sunbathing We reached around 9:30 AM, and it was almost empty. With a few clouds in the sky, the place had a very serene and peaceful vibe. No crowds at all. In summer, the beach area is probably a bit wider, but during our visit, it was smaller. Still, that doesn't take away from enjoying this beautiful beach. Parking is right there, and there are restrooms nearby, which makes it very convenient. read more

What an amazing find!!! We got kicked out of another beach because of our dog.... So we decided to drive further past isla morada to get to Anne's beach. So pots a little complicated. It's not a full beach. More like you have to walk trough a bridge and every couple of sections there are small private beaches. So if you get there early you can get a good spot. The water is not the cleanest but it's very low tide. You can walk half a mile and still not be under water. My dog loved it!!! We spent most of the day here. The little private beach we chose even had a small deck area with shade. Best part of the whole vacation is seeing max have so much fun!! He literally slept the whole way back home after this read more

A little beach park with a boardwalk joining the north and south parking lots. At the time of our visit there were alot of onshore winds so there was a bunch of seaweed on the beaches but it doesn't take much to step over and into the water. We walked the entire boardwalk and found on our visit that the south parking lot was better for us. We setup just as u come down the walking mat. FYI space is tight here not alot of beach setup space, but if you just have stuff in your car and want to take a dip this would work. Alot of hermit crabs in the water. Water was cooler the further out you went. June 2026 read more

This is a mid-sized beach on Islmorado (one of the FL Keys). It is a beautiful beach with a boardwalk that includes some cabanas for picnicing or ocean watching. There is free parking and it offers easy access from Route 1 - the Overseas Highway. There are also restrooms available near the parking area. Great spot to enjoy the ocean. read more

This is not a beach per se, but more of a short boardwalk with covered picnic benches along the way. There are stairs placed every so often and you can get down to the water but there is not much sand, and very rocky. Best chance to park is at the restroom end of the boardwalk, maybe 15 spaces. At the other end, where the biggest water spot is, there are less than ten spaces. read more

Beautiful & clean beach area in Islamorada... perfect for a lazy beachday with friends or family. They have little picnic area/cabins you can set up your food/cooler while you enjoy the water. Free parking available (limited spots). They have clean restrooms, but they close them at 4pm. I would say this place is best to arrive really early, nit so much for sunset. read more

This is one of our favorite stops in Islamorada. The boardwalk is a wonderful walk from one end to the other. There are cabanas along the way with stairways down to the beach. Bathrooms are available in the parking area on the north end of the park. There is another parking area on the south end as well. They are not large parking lots just an FYI. We usually go there 5 or more times while in Islamorada just to take a walk. Or set up our chairs to watch the kite surfers. read more

Be aware, Not much parking. Nice and clean blue water. Lot's of coral. Very scenic and attractive. The walk around the beach on the deck was also pretty good. Dog friendly beach; yay read more

Anne's Beach in Islamorada in the Florida Keys Not sure what to think about Anne's Beach... it's not really a beach. The sand is like clay and the water is brackish and dirty. Before coming here I read a little bit about it and learned that the beach re-opened in 2019 after it was devastated by the Cat 5 Hurricane Irma on September 2017. While the Florida Keys in general do not offer a large variety of sandy beaches we tried to make the best of the opportunity. The water was shallow. My daughter walked a great distance and the water was just up to her knees. She's 5'2". We walked along the raised boardwalk that winds through the mangroves and connected to a second parking lot. -------------------------- Mangroves - salt-tolerant trees or shrubs that grow along tidal shores. They grow in coastal saline or brackish water. -------------------------- Along the boardwalk were pavilions with picnic tables. I thought this was cool, like a private spots to have a nice picnic, the pavilions that faced the water have stairs that lead to the beach. Found a couple of small northern curly-tailed lizard darting in and out the rocks. Parking was small and can be hard to find a spot. We had no problem. Review #2799 read more

Welcome to the Keys the land of coral and clear warm waters but not so much the white sugar sand you may have been hoping for if this is your first time experiencing this piece of paradise. I see a lot of people are disappointed when they try and find a beach here that is filled with vast stretches of sand, cabanas, yoga mats and clear swimming pools surrounded by beach lounge chairs and cocktail service, well the Keys has those too but they aren't supplied by Mother Nature you'll have to reserve those at the resorts scattered across the Keys and they all come with a price, Anne's Beach is an amenity that comes free of charge so don't be pretentious and enjoy what's before you. The view from the shoreline is absolutely beautiful, today the water and air temperatures are 82 degrees the light breeze and peaceful surroundings are just what I'd order if I had to choose. The walk from my Jeep to the water's edge is about 10 feet the waves lap the mangroves and wash the bleached rocks every few seconds while Sirius XM provides the perfect volume of island tunes in the background and I have no complaints. The reason for the lack of soft sandy shoreline in the Florida Keys may seem a mystery, but it's actually the result of the numerous coral reefs offshore. The coral reefs prevent beach formation, the coral reefs also affect the sand quality. It's coarser, even a bit abrasive compared to the sand at other Florida locations. The sea bottom can also feel sharp on the feet, again due to the coral particles so a good pair of water shoes are beneficial, as for the sea grass and muck that's rare but it can exist at times so pick your spot to enter the water the bait fish, nurse, sandbar and lemon sharks seem to like it just fine as do I... read more

If you are in Islamorada and looking for great place to wander, fish, swim, or catch a beautiful sunset this is your spot. We came around 5pm and we're able to enjoy this sites on the walkway as well as see the sunset. It's slightly hidden from the road but our GPS helped us catch it. Free parking and absolutely gorgeous views. Definitely recommend! read more

Just an enchanting spot to enjoy a relaxing day. It's quite popular, probably because it is one of the few sandy beaches in the Keys. It tends to get crowded during the weekends, plan accordingly because parking is limited. Like any other beach, you can come here to picnic, kayak, sunbathe, or whatever activity you prefer. Apparently, the beach has not been the same since Hurricane Irma, but it is still quite captivating. The best part of this beach is the boardwalk that goes through the mangroves. Along the boardwalk, there are pavilions with picnic tables. You can definitely find a nice secluded spot for yourself. The water is clear, however, I am not sure if it is suitable enough for swimming since it is extremely shallow. 4 stars. read more

Fun free Florida! A beautiful but short stretch of boardwalk running along the ocean side canopy with two small bookend parking lots. The north one has a nice bathroom. What makes this park especially nice are the many pavilions, perfect for picnicking or whatever all else. If you're looking for soft sugary sand, head north! Florida's got something like 660 miles of beautiful beaches and none of them are in the Keys unless you're at fancy resort or one of the few diligently manicured artificial beaches and even then, they're less than desirable. Expect smelly seagrass, craggy limestone, broken bits of coral, and various flotsam and jetsams. read more

We came to Key Largo to snorkel the reefs and did not know much about the surroundings. I was on the hunt for a beach and had a very hard time finding one close by. Anne's Beach was about 45 minutes from my resort in Key Largo and was not worth the drive. This is the only beach we could find, and there wasn't really much beach. The "sand" felt like cat litter and the water had a murky, sticky mud that became slippery out of the water. The boardwalk was pleasant and led to many very, VERY small beaches in the park. The most redeeming part of the beach was its hermit crabs and baby conches. read more

I wanted to like this because it's supposed to be dog friendly but it's nothing short of a swamp. This isn't really a beach! It's a small, dirty strip. The water is so dirty, there's barely any sand and there's so much moss before reaching the water, you will sink in it and/or lose a shoe. Our doggy loves the beach and water and she wanted nothing to do with this one, especially all the moss that prevented us from getting in the water. It wasn't well kept and I wouldn't recommend it for anyone looking to go to an actual beach, especially to take their dog. We ended up in Sombrero Beach in Marathon Key and it was a complete 180 (go there instead!) read more

Newly developed (almost complete) with two parking lots and a nice long boardwalk with picnic tables and stairs down to the edge of the water. I like how they used modern railings that will last much longer than regular wood. They will even have restrooms on the east side parking lot (still needs to be paved). Unfortunately, we did see any place for us to go swimming. read more

Not really worth it, for a trip of its own. If you stop by en route to somewhere else, fine. But there's no real sandy beach or good spot to lay out. Those are difficult to find in the keys. This is better than nothing. There's a nice walkway. Dedicated parking. Bathrooms. Shaded pavilions. But... bring your beach chair. Loads of seaweed. Teeny tiny. If the parking lots are full, not a good sign. It is FREE, so there's that. But, if you want a day at the beach, you're better off going straight to Bahia Honda and paying the park fee. read more

No sandy beaches and a lot of seaweed. The water was brackish and they don't allow fishing or alcohol. Disappointed

This beach used to be so beautiful and they did a nice job with the deck and bathrooms. However there is no more beach!!! It's just disgusting rotting, smelly, bug infested seaweed/grass. The water was also smelly and dirty. Right before the beach going south, on the right, there are much nicer books to stop at. read more

Not the same after the storm. Still a beautiful and dog friendly area but only the south entrance is open and most of shallow beautiful beach is gone from all of the erosion. The water was a lot deeper and the natural path to the deep was gone. I have little dogs so they are a bit nervous of the deeper water. read more

Nice little hangout. Mosquitoes were really bad!!! They don't let you grill nor are you allow to have beer.

Stopped in one early morning and enjoyed it. There is a very nice long boardwalk with several different places to stop and relax. A couple different parking lots to gain access to the beach. The beach itself depending on where you access it is nice and beautiful. Enjoy! Worth a stop! read more

I am not sure what happened to this beach. Is full of dead seaweed it looks like a swamp also stinks so bad. Actually many places in keys are full of dead seaweed and impossible to swim. Disappointed read more

Great little rest-stop when heading down to Key West. The boardwalk is well made, it won't give you splinters when walking barefoot. There are picnic tables with a views to the Atlantic ocean. You can also take a splash in the water but be careful with the small friends (sea creatures). There's hermit crabs, blue crabs, horseshoes, and fish from what I saw. read more

While on vacation we were looking for places that allows pets. Through Yelp we found Anne's. The dog loved this location. The water is very calm, he hates waves, and shallow. He was able to play and enjoy the flat water. The downside, another guest had an aggressive puppy that kept barking and lunging towards him. Bring water shoes, this is not a sandy beach. There are a million little shells on the bottom, and lots of "muddy" areas. I cut my toe and my daughter broke a flip flop read more

Do not recommend if your looking for a swim and good sand. This beach is more of a visual place. The sand is infested with hermit crabs and the shore line is like walking in muck. They have a nice walk way and parking so like I said for visual purposes its ok. read more

If you need to just stretch you legs, this is a good place as there is a boardwalk. But it's not a good beach for regular beach stuff. The sand is hard/muddy and it smells. There was some glass on the beach. Not worth it for swimming or tanning. read more
