First to review?  Wow, maybe this place is a secret that I'm not supposed to disclose.

Well you're busted!

Only a hop skip and possibly a jump away from the hustle and bustle of Clearwater Beach lies Sand Key Park.

The amenities are sparse in comparison, but the beach is just as fabulous, with a fraction of the crowd.  Yelpers, take heed, if you ruin this beach because I told my secret, I will hunt you down!

Parking is metered and there are change machines dispersed throughout the lot.

Happy swimming!

I could swear I read that this was voted the #2 beach in the nation, but now I can't find that source. Anyhow, that said, I think there are some nicer beaches in the Clearwater/St. Pete area, but this one was pretty nice, too. Pretty secluded and away from any hustle and bustle. The sand is OK, nothing outrageously soft or beautiful, and the water is nice and clear for the immediate wading area. Snack machines, good clean restroom/changing/showering facilities, and umbrella rentals on the beach, too.

I guess I had higher expectations, but it's really a nice beach nonetheless...  don't forget quarters for parking (although kudos to the park for providing a change machine for the folks who don't have change on hand). The park looks nice too, with some biking trails and whatnot.
