Pretty beach!
Jun 2021 • Family
Lovely beach with easy access to the beach from the free parking parking lot. Restrooms are also easily accessible. Calm surf and plenty of room to frolic. It was a wonderful place to relax after our long drive.

Beach Day at the Sombrero
Jun 2021
Finally found a beach in the Keys that we could spend the day at and has facilities and makes for a nice beach day. Lots of seaweed and kelp the day of our visit but the water was wonderful and the vibe was nice.

White sand beach, lots of parking and picnic tables.
May 2021
Solid beach on Marathon. Came here twice to relax and swim in the water. Stopped at the Publix on the way to the beach as it's right on the highway. Was hoping to find vendors near the beach to buy drinks, rent chairs from but they could not be found.

Sombrero Beach
May 2021
Parking was easy. Our younger kids found a spot around the corner of the beach to snorkel while our oldest fished off of the pier. There is also 2 sand volleyball courts. It was clean and not too crowded.

Best beach around
May 2021 • Family
This is a small beach compared to Destin type beaches. Marathon doesn't have much in the way of beaches, this is the nicest one around. Free, good facilities and a lot of shallow for the smaller kids to play in.

Nice city park beach!
May 2021 • Family
I would agree with previous reviewers who said that this is a nice, clean city park beach. It was calm and pleasant when we visited. It is prone to the same seaweed that other nearby beaches are but it was still swimmable. Kids had a good time, calm water.

Nice beach
May 2021
It's not huge but nice facilities. We saw a manatee about 15' from shore which was cool. Only negative was dead fish/surfer odor.

Is it safe to go kayaking from Sombrero Beach on our own through the mangroves? Or is it possible to get lost?

The possibility of getting lost is always possible if you aren’t familiar with the area. My wife and I visited the beach and from the looks of it, it seemed fairly safe to kayak.
