Smathers Beach, Public beach in Key West, United States.
The beach extends for half a mile along South Roosevelt Boulevard, with coconut trees lining the shore and Atlantic Ocean waters meeting white sand.
Senator George Smathers, who maintained a close friendship with President John F. Kennedy, received recognition through the naming of this beach in his honor.
The beach marked history in 2013 when Diana Nyad completed her 110-mile swim from Cuba, reaching the shore without using a shark cage.
Visitors have access to beach volleyball courts, restrooms, showers, and jet ski rentals, with parking available from 8 AM to midnight at 5 dollars per hour.
