Anne's Beach
A shallow-water beach on Lower Matecumbe Key, with a wooden boardwalk linking several small sandy coves. The calm, shallow water suits families.
Anne's Beach lies near Mile Marker 73 on Lower Matecumbe Key. It is one of the few natural sandy beaches in the upper Florida Keys, with very shallow, turquoise water. At low tide you can wade a long way across knee-deep flats, which suits kids playing in the water and photo stops. A wooden boardwalk built along the mangroves connects several small sandy beaches with shaded pavilions. Entry is free, and parking is limited. When seaweed is abundant, the water may smell, and mosquitoes come out in the evening.
