Shark Week on the Sand Bar in KeyWest

Snipes Point Key West is the location of the famous Snipes Key sandbar. But as popular as this spot is, it’s still a hidden gem. You see, Snipes Point is only accessible by boat and is far away from any land access. So not only do you need a watercraft to get there, but you need good navigation skills and some local knowledge to get you there. The backcountry of the Florida Keys is no place to wander into unprepared. Here’s a look at the beauty of Snipes Point, the best times to visit, and, of course, how to get yourself out there.

That’s right, there are sharks here, and you might get to see one on a Key West sandbar tour. But fear not–this isn’t like Shark Week or Jaws. There’s no creepy music, and the sharks are way more scared of you than you are of them.
