About South Beach

South Beach is a sandy beach about 100 m long, 1.1 km from Key West (Florida Keys). It faces south: wind from the north blows off the land here and flattens the water, while wind and swell from the south roll straight in. OpenStreetMap shows 15 places to eat or drink within 400 m, 35 hotels or apartments within 600 m, parking and a beach club nearby.
