Recently, my family took a vacation down to Florida. We stayed at Pompano Beach, Florida but we traveled down to Key West for one day. From our travels I was able to compare the two beaches and decide which one I liked best. First of all, if you have a chance to go to either of these beaches I would recommend it; the Atlantic Ocean is amazing.
First I will start with Pompano Beach. Centered right outside of Ft. Lauderdale, It was the most populated beach. Right behind the beach, there was a lot of hotels and condos. This was kind of nice because if you had to use the restroom or if you required some other hotel service, you could always go and get it. They also had places where you could rent various items like chairs, umbrellas, trampolines, etc. The beach was also lined with un-hatched turtle nests. This added a little uniqueness to the beach because there were so many.
The beach that we went to in Key West was one off of the main beach so it was more isolated than Pompano Beach. The fact that it was a more isolated beach kind of showed in the beach quality though. The beach had a lot less sand than Pompano Beach. I mean the sand in Pompano Beach was probably brought there but still. There were also no waves at the Key West Beach. It was different from the actual coast, It was kind of part of a bay where the ocean waves didn’t touch. Because the Atlantic Ocean water was so clear, and the lack of waves made it very easy to see the bottom, which kind of made it gross because of all of the seaweed that grew.
Even though we found some beaches to be better than others, they are still beaches so they really can’t be overlooked. If you ever find yourself at either of these beaches, I would highly recommend going to them. (339)
