Crandon Beach Park, a former coconut plantation on Key Biscayne, is consistently named among the Top 10 beaches in the nation. There are more than two miles of "lagoon-style" beach, with calm water protected by a constantly shifting offshore sandbar. Facilities: Besides the pristine sand and quiet ocean, the park offers a winding promenade, concession stands, changing rooms, restrooms, outdoor showers, picnic areas with tables and grills, bicycle and walking paths, tennis center, golf course, marina and two restaurants. Beach chairs, bicycles and other equipment are available for rent. The Family Amusement Center open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. features a restored 1949 carousel, roller rink, splash fountain, beachfront playground and more. Surf chairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but it helps to call ahead. Lifeguards: Guards patrol from 13 towers, set about 150 yards apart on the most-traveled areas of the beach, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. April through October; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the winter. Rules: No glass containers, no pets, no open fires. Swim near the lifeguards. Other rules are posted in the park. Fees: No admission fee. Must pay to park, and there are fees for some amusement center activities. |
