We went for a wander in this park on the recommendation of the team at Marriot. It was quite superb, quiet, litter free and has a lovely trail which takes you on a pretty trek through the park, eventually bringing you out on the beach. Some advice, go early morning, late evening, the middle of the day is far too... More

Our wedding consisted of 5 people, us included. But we went and got married on this beach, it is so gorgeous. Quite peaceful compared to Clearwater Beach, and just as beautiful! More

Clearwater beach busy and seems crowded. We went over the bridge and went to Sand Key Park. It is so much nicer then the other beaches in the area. It is worth the small fee you pay to park. Pretty beach with lot's of shells! More

This by far is one of the cleanest, white-sand beach we have experienced. Cabana's, beach umbrellas/chairs were easily rentable on the beach itself and the water was warm for late April. There is a nearby changeroom/restroom facitliy and outdoor showers too. Parking was a mere $5 for the entire day (morning to dusk when park closes) durning the weekday, with... More

We came to Sand Key Park just a bit before sunset, so I don't have much advice to offer on any vendors or other services that may or may not be available here; but overall this was a nice, pleasant stretch of beach that was much calmer than the Clearwater Beach side of the Inlet. We checked in at the... More

Sand Key has a very wide beach and lots of spots to park your umbrella. It is a great place to take a walk on the beach or watch the sunset. If you're lucky you'll get to see a school of dolphins swimming along, usually in the early evening. They took out the parking meters and started charging $5 per... More
