What is Sand Key Park like?

The park covers 95 acres and has two distinct areas: beach and park. That gives you a choice between spending time by the shore and enjoying the park’s salt marsh views. If you’re planning a broader outing, browse more things to do around the beaches.

What can you do at Sand Key Park?

The white sandy beach is one of the park’s main draws. Sea turtles nest there from April through October, so keep in mind that the beach is also part of a nesting area during that season.

For a different view, benches are provided for looking across the salt marsh, which sustains native wildlife. You can make the beach or the marsh the focus of your visit, depending on what you’d like to see.
