Facilities	3.0 of 3	Within walking distance: parking, bathrooms, restaurants, lifeguards.
Calm water	1.5 of 2	Mean daily maximum wave 2.0 ft.
Warm water	0.8 of 1	Mean sea temperature 82 F.
Sunset over water	0.0 of 1	The shore faces away from the sunset all year.

Ranks #1 of 55 for sunrise over water in Florida, #5 of 21 for lifeguards in Florida, #7 of 38 for free parking in Florida, #8 of 168 for warm water in Florida, #10 of 67 for pier in Florida. All beaches in Florida.

Verdicts on the cards come from the same facts. Sources: OpenStreetMap (Sep 10, 2026), Open-Meteo (Sep 10, 2026). The formula is on the methodology page.
