| | Where's a Family Beach for Good Snorkeling, Sand, and Shallow Water Near Miami? |
| Asked by Abe Khatib on November 18, 2009 |
|
Q: HI,First, thank you in advance for your help. MY family (my wife and I, a 4 year old boy and 1 year old daughter) are flying into Miami 11-26 thru 12-3. We are looking for a laid back sandy beach, that won't be too crowded. We prefer the warmest water possible, good snorkeling opportunities, soft sand and shallow water around the shore for easy access for the kids. We were originally thinking Key West, but that quickly grew expensive. Then we thought Key Largo, but everyone insists that Key Largo "has no beaches". Please help!
