How is the swimming there? is it more like a bay? We love sand key and I just wonder how it compares
A:
I haven’t been to sand key, but I wouldn’t say this is like a bay...I love the swimming there, but it’s not deep, maybe to your waste when the tide is in
Why was your parking free? I drove down that way after visiting the Bay Prot launch and saw a $5 parking sign. As a state run park I do not understand how they can charge us a fee. They have stuff to sell so, I guess I just don't understand.

I didn’t have free parking. They charge parking at all beaches in Florida that I’ve visited. I assume it’s to care for the beaches since there is no State income tax.
Weddings have been performed there. I think you have to contact a local wedding planner to arrange this sort of thing. Not sure if you can contact the park directly.
