Bathtub Beach, Protected beach in Martin County, United States.
The beach features a natural limestone reef formation that creates a sheltered swimming area with gentle waves and clear waters.
The beach obtained its name in the early 20th century when local residents noticed the calm waters resembling a bathtub due to the protective reef.
Marine researchers frequently study the beach's reef system, which supports over 500 species and serves as an educational site for environmental programs.
Visitors can access the beach daily from 10:00 AM to 4:45 PM, with lifeguards on duty and facilities including restrooms and parking areas.
The reef structure consists of countless Sabellariid worms that build protective tubes by cementing sand grains, forming a natural breakwater system.
