As the home of an artificial reef, Sand Key Park provides opportunities for scuba diving and fishing. Manmade materials are placed in the water and marine life takes over--barnacles and algae attach themselves and turn the underwater area into a haven for fish and other animals. A salt marsh further enhances the experience, bringing in herons, pelicans, roseate spoonbills and other birds to the area. Look for seashells in the shallow waters, which abound in this environment. You can reserve a picnic shelter with a grill, and there's a playground at the site. Check out kayak and bicycle rental options for exploring the sea or trails along the coast. Dog owners can take their furry friends to a special designated park for dogs. Put Sand Key Park at the forefront of your travel plans using our Clearwater trip itinerary builder website.

I love this place. It's very peaceful and pleasant beach. You need to pay $5.00 for the parking fee. Nice environment where everyone is friendly. Me and my family enjoyed the day relaxing and I saw the dolphins swimming close to where the people swim.

What a lovely destination on Clearwater Beach! This park has lots of parking and plenty of room to spread out. Great place to swim since its nice and shallow close to shore. Amazing sunsets and if you get here in the morning you can see some dolphins eating their breakfast. Highly recommend.

One of the best beaches in Clorella county. The water is warm, the wind is good, the beach is clean, enough parking lot. You pay $5 for parking the whole day. Opens at 7:00am to sunset. It's great to share with family, friends or by yourself. The park has public showers and restrooms.

The view and the complimentary covered areas for visitors worth all the credits. We walked from our hotel which was only five minutes away so parking wasn’t a problem. The beach was quite clean and although it does get very crowded in good weather days, we came out really early in the morning and enjoyed the serene atmosphere all to ourselves. One of the best beaches in the area, this is our third visit already!

Super nice beach! There’s not too many people here and it’s for the most part a very quiet beach! There were still lots of families so it is family friendly and there is a food truck as well. There’s bathrooms and showers as well which was nice. We were even lucky enough to see some dolphins while being out there and you can see AND feel fish swimming around you sometimes too! I highly recommend! I was also able to find tons of cool seashells and watch the beautiful sunset.
