Islamorada Founders Park
Founders Park
A bayside community park with palm-shaded sand beaches, a swimming pool, and a dock, ideal for relaxed swimming and sunset watching.
Founders Park sits on the bay side of Plantation Key. It has a well-kept artificial beach, palm shade, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a dog park, and a small dock. The water is calm, making it suitable for swimming with kids, paddleboarding, and watching the sunset. Non-residents pay a per-person day fee, and it is crowded on holidays. The park has restrooms and showers, making it one of the best-equipped beaches near Islamorada.
