View from cabanas at Crandon Park, Key Biscayne, Florida
Looks like it should be on a poster, huh?
Growing up, this was the view from the cabana we would rent most Sundays at the beach on Key Biscayne, across a bridge from Miami. It was never this quiet, but this visit was in November, between storms, and while it was a cool 70 degrees.
Crandon was and still is the perfect kid beach. Over 2 miles of lifeguarded beach protected by an off shore reef and with extensive sandbars that can leave a wading pool stretching a quarter mile out. Cabanas for rent are a great place for shade and parking coolers of food an drink. The park also includes a zoo and a train. What more does a little kid (and their parent) want?
I hope to take Mirielle here this year if budget allows. She will be disappointed with no waves, but I think she will love the sandbar.

Oh that’s a beauty. I think I’ve seen that in a dream.
: )
WOW! I live in northern FL and we have not been past Miami…need to get to the Keys soon to see that view!!!
Coolest picture I’ve seen today! AND your post really makes me want to check out this place. My son has been trying to talk up a Florida trip with me (Disney World perhaps?).
Oh, I’m longing to be spirited away to somewhere warm again – roll on the summer
This looks like a nice walking beach, too. I love those lengthy beaches were I go walk and wade for a few miles.
Hey, did I ever give you a copy of the picture I took of you on this beach when we were there for your bachelorette weekend?
