If you're looking for sugary sand or beautiful beaches you're going to have to head North out of…read morethe Keys to almost any one of Florida's other 800 plus miles of beaches unless you're on a curated or private resort beach where they've brought in lots of sand and routinely scrape off the sea grass. You'd be better off at Sombrero, Smathers, Higgs, or Fort Zachary beaches for something like that sort of experience but still need water shoes and consider smelly sea grass is just a thing down here. You do get used to it, but it's an acquired Conch thing. Coco Plum's quiet and worth exploring. Sunrise is Great here (as almost anywhere in the Keys) and there's a trail amongst the canopy and brush worth checking out. People do like to bring and unleash their dogs here, so you might want to sort of expect that. Over the years, it's been really nice here after it's been scraped and new sand's been brough in. It's a bit rough for the weary after the last few storms now.

I was excited…read moreabout the prospect of having the beach mostly to ourselves, and was hoping to snorkel a little. The beach was covered in sea grass, which is fine because nature and whatever. I didn't care about the smell of said decaying sea grass. But we waded out about 10 ft and were stuck in mud because the sand had run out. All we were doing was kicking up silt and mud. Almost lost my water shoes in the sticky mud. We left after 5 minutes in the water. This is a great option for someone who just wants to take their dog for a walk or stroll along a beach. But not at all good for swimming or snorkeling, and not even basking on the sand because of all the sea grass and the smell. The restroom and shower were nice, but we didn't use the restroom for anything but changing and the shower for anything but washing off the mud. There are so many beaches in the keys, this one was super disappointing.

We went out on the dock they have and you can tell they maintain it well or it must be real new, great views.

We started on the bike trail along the busy highway, then turned into the park. At the guard house, the nicest ranger asked us to come in while he waited on a car driving through. He was so pleasant and caring about having water, giving us directions, etc. I am so sorry I didn't get his name. if you are walking or cycling, it is $2.50 per person. We met another ranger who was maintaining the restroom down by the shore and he was friendly, too! Walking down, there are mangroves on each side. Then you see the shore. They have done such a great job carving out little areas for people to sit or eat, etc. We were very impressed with that. There was no litter and the restroom was also very clean. Highly recommend if you need a break going to or coming from Key West. It is also great if you are staying nearby.

This review is specifically about the PRICING policy for campgrounds in Florida State Parks…read more Camping in the Keys is a popular activity, and it's difficult to find availability. We were thrilled to find that Long Key had a site available for the March date that we needed. Our preference would have been for a site for a Class B RV, but we were willing to accept the only site available, a tent-only site. Our reservation for the site was quite expensive ($34.51) for a tent-only site in a public park, without hookups. The fees in Florida state parks really add up. The site itself was "only" $22.50, but there's also a non-refundable $6.70 reservation fee and an assortment of taxes that totaled $5.31. Unfortunately, due to wildfires near Homestead, FL, we needed to reschedule our trip into the Keys, which also involved cancelling our reservation at Long Key. Of our initial outlay of $34.51, our refund was only for $10 and some change. There was a $17-something cancellation fee, and the initial reservation fee was non-refundable. Of the $10+ returned, over $5 of this was the sales taxes.
