Overview
Crandon Park's
beautiful two-mile beach is consistently named among the top ten beaches in the
nation. It is one of the most popular recreation destinations in all of
Miami-Dade County, enjoyed by millions of residents and tourists each year.
The beach is celebrated for its pristine sand, calm water, winding promenade,
concession stands, multiple picnic areas with tables and grills, and convenient
parking for more than 3,000 vehicles. Crandon's famous offshore sandbar protects
swimmers from a crashing surf. The sandbar changes constantly because of
seasonal squalls, storms and currents. It is enjoyed by many people who swim to
it and walk or wade along its length.
The beach is what's called a lagoon style, or low surf impact beach, and the
shoreline varies--sloping from wading depth to six to twelve feet, depending on
the tide. Lifeguards patrol from thirteen elevated towers, set about 150 yards
apart in the areas of heavy usage. They keep beach-goers informed as to surf,
sand and weather conditions.
