Sombrero Beach is a family-friendly public beach and one of the Florida Keys' best-kept secrets. Perfect for families with small children, the beach boasts a beautiful white sandy shoreline lapped by gentle waters with plenty of shaded areas, showers and restrooms, a children’s playground, and ample free parking. Secluded and quiet, the pet-friendly beach is ideal for a day of relaxing and sunbathing as well as swimming and snorkeling in the warm, shallow waters that teem with colorful fish. The beach and surrounding area also offers a variety of activities, such as beach volleyball and picnic areas, and is a nesting area for loggerhead turtles between April and October.
