This is where you can take those pics. They also have picnic tables. As for swimming, I would say no. So much seaweed and not enough water. I believe it's a combination of the tide and the lack of rain too. The parking here is $6 and you can pay through park mobile. They say no dogs and there are tons of signs. My pup and I stayed in our car while my husband went to check the water. It was a good reminder why we don't go to this beach. Unfortunately, this was the day of the craziness in Clearwater with the teen takeover with all the chaos.

The low tide exposes a whopping 30 yards of beach so make sure to dock your boat far in the water. Three Rooker island is a bird sanctuary for the black skimmer birds that looks like seagulls but are mostly black so no camping, dogs, or drinking is allowed on the island. However, it is okay to drink on your boat. This island is next to Anclote but only about 1/10th of the size. The pinellas county sherrifs boat and Coast Guard boat passes by to make sure people are keeping the rules in check. A ton of boats will pull up here but not that many people will walk the island due to the alcohol rules. There is an ice cream boat with a sign that says "Ice Cream Boat that comes by here and other neighboring island offering ice cream. They had a cool Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle ice cream bar. The biggest party island in the area is the North Key Sand Bar next door but it's further out so most people choose to dock here!

I really gotta be honest...To call this a beach is dishonest, and I'm genuinely shocked…read more At most, this is a park. Granted, the park area is a decent area for families or if you're walking your dog...But their "beach"? It is, at most, a seaweed and muck infested small shoreline that once had a defaced and rickety pier you could hang out on which unfortunately for the locals was destroyed by Hurricane Milton. Good luck finding any good parking too; Nothing is clearly outlined and it's mostly dirt roads. If you live near it or are looking for a park to hang out on, go ahead and enjoy it. But if it's a beach day you're planning for? I'd advise not to come here; Crystal "Beach" is nothing but an over-glorified park, so to even call it a beach is just downright insulting.
