Sandbar Hopping
Sandbars in Key West are like nature’s floating lounges — shallow stretches of soft, white sand surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters. These formations, often created by wave action and shifting currents, can be miles offshore and vary in size and depth depending on tides and seasons.
🌴 What makes them special?
-
Underwater beaches: Some sandbars are fully submerged, while others emerge at low tide, creating temporary islands perfect for lounging.
-
Relaxation hotspots: Locals and visitors flock to them for swimming, sunbathing, floating, and even hosting casual parties or picnics.
-
Accessible by boat: Most sandbars require a boat to reach, and many tours offer guided trips with local captains who know the best spots.
