The shells are so plentiful, it's insane. I have to limit my kids as to how many we can take back with us so that we don't sink the boat (or pay double for our suitcases). The swimming on the one side is totally protected and wonderful for little kids. The swimming on the other side of the island has... More

A group of us came over on a rented boat to enjoy time on the "quiet, deserted beach" on a Sunday afternoon. When we arrived, the place was packed with partiers! Once we found a spot to beach our boat, we were able to walk along what did become a largely vacant beach. This is soft white sand, with no... More

We ended up on Keewaydin Island almost by accident. While vacationing with our family on Marco Island, my father-in-law decided he wanted to rent a pontoon boat for the whole family and explore the intercoastal waterway a bit. We got a boat from Rose Marina and were soon out and about on the water. After and hour or so of... More

I spent summers for years at the adjacent Marco Island and visited this beach regularly. I now can only return once a year but am always amazed at how beautiful this beach is with its clear blue water and abundant treasure of shells. Rent a boat and visits and spend the day, bring a picnic.

If you like to party this is where you want to be! Accessible by boat only. There are other vendor boats selling food and beer.

Great area for the locals to hang out. Can only get there by boat or jet ski's. Fun in the sun. Food/bar pontoon boats are there if you forgot to pack a cooler.

We went to Keewaydin for 4th of July. It was very fun and patriotic but it was very busy. Lots of boats and people partying. It is a nice island but I recommend going at a different time unless you want to mingle with all of the other party goers.

Not a place to get away. It is too busy, too loud and most are drinking or smoking too much. I can never understand the attraction to this sort of activity. Better off to avoid the pass in favor of many other great locations in the region. Go to the east coast for that sort of place.

We drove over from Ft. Lauderdale and we're glad we did! We used Rose Marina to rent a pontoon boat and fishing gear. Awesome service, great boat, great day. Weather was perfect, the beach was really spectacualar... go past all the closely anchored boats and go to the end of the inlet.. quiet and you can easily walk to the... More
