It is neat to take your boat and tie off on Keewaydin and walk the paths over to the beach where you can still find seashells and walk alone on the beach for a long way. We like to take a picnic lunch and lawn chairs and spend some time sitting and enjoying the view and the sound of the... More

This island can only be accessed by boat so the beach is less crowded than in Naples. Nice beach, good shelling. More
