Sombrero Beach is definitely one of the top beaches in the Florida Keys. This crescent-shaped white-sand beach is located near the end of Sombrero Beach Road (mile marker 50) in Marathon, and is several miles off the highway, so traffic noise is not a factor on this quiet beach. A safe swim area is marked. Sombrero Beach offers a great beach experience and is one of my favorites.
