Hobie Island Beach Park

It was a bit overcast on Sunday June 11th, but it was still a very relaxing few hours at Hobie. The beaches in South Florida tend to be unbearably overrun with people in the summer, so sometimes it’s nice to be able to get to the shore without too much hassle.

Hobie doesn’t have the sand, but you can pluck yourself down right by the water with your chair and umbrella and just chill. It’s just a narrow strip of land on the southside of the Rickenbacker Causeway leading to Key Biscayne on Biscayne Bay. It’s popular with windsurfers but if you don’t mind the seaweed carpet on the ocean floor, you can swim and snorkel right off the shore.

There’s also a concession stand and hot dog vendor and well maintained public bathrooms.
