Sand Key Reopening Dec. 21

Sand Key Park will be ready to welcome visitors back to its stunning beaches and tranquil surroundings on Saturday, Dec. 21. Thank you for your patience and support as our staff and partners worked diligently to restore our parks, preserves, and beaches to their full beauty, ensuring safety and enjoyment for all.

Sand Key Park is 95 acres with two distinct areas of beach and park in Clearwater. This park has a white sandy beach with seasonal lifeguards and sea turtles that nest from April – October. The park also provides benches for viewing the salt marsh that sustains the native wildlife.
