Crandon Park Beach

The beach is divided into two different areas; the northern part, with more waves, is frequented by surfers while the south, with white sands and calm waters, is the part most popular with families and couples.

One of the advantages of this beach is that it has an area full of palm trees, below which you can spend the hottest days of summer, and tens of tables and grills for those who want to eat at the beach. And another point of convenience is that this beach has an enormous parking lot just in front.
