Bathtub Reef Beach

Address: 1585 SE MacArthur Blvd

Bathtub Reef Beach, a favorite local swimming spot reopened on June 15.

Bathtub Reef Beach is a great place to swim because the reef that is just off shore protects the beach from currents and waves.

The beach was damaged in the Hurricanes of 2004 with the walkways destroyed and swimming area filled in with Sand. Martin County completed initial repairs and the beach is now open (as of June 15, 2008).

The south side of the beach and parking areas to the south are all open, as is the main deck and bathrooms.  The north parking area and walkway remain closed. But there is parking for about 100 cars.
