Crandon Park Beach, Key Biscayne,
Memorial Day, 2005. There was not a parking space to be had since
the day started off so
sunny and absolutely perfect for a day
at the beach. Thousands upon thousands of people swarmed to the public
beach at Crandon Park
this day. The flow of traffic onto the
beach did stop even after the cloud cover moved in. Crandon
Park Beach is ranked in the top ten
beaches in the world based on a number
of factors, and this day, there was no question where these people wanted
to be.
Boats can go from Crandon Marina,
under
the Bear Cut
Bridgehead south, and drop anchor and here you are.
A cruise ship is shown
above leaving the Port of Miami that has
just left Government Cut in downtown Miami which is a few miles north of
the northernmost
end of Key Biscayne, but these people
here came by car. Strollers, coolers, umbrellas and beach towels
all in tow.
The smell of suntan lotion and barbeque
of every flavor fills the humid overcast day as families and friends take
up every available
inch of shade under the massive trees
that make up the beach area of Crandon Park Beach. Want
to ride a 3 wheel
or take the whole family on a four wheel
bike? Check
this out. These are actually bikes that you can rent here at Crandon
Park Beach. The lifeguards had their hands full asyou
can see from the hundreds of swimmers in the Atlantic Ocean. Thankfully,
there are no currents
and most all of the beachat Crandon Park
is protected by a natural sandbar that runs the extent of the beach.
This keeps the large
surf well offshore and makes for perfect
swimming and playing in the water conditions. Children are easy to
watch here, the water is fairly
shallow and wonderfully clean. Well,
at some times more so than others. This day, many people were spared
the sunburn and got to have
all of the fun that Crandon Park Beach
without any of the redness and peeling. It was a good day to celebrate
the freedom that
we all can share because of the sacrifices
of many good men today. Not too hot, not raining, not cold, but the
perfect overcast day.
