Key West is a great area in Florida that families can go to. Key West and the rest of the Florida Keys are coral islands
- former reefs, from when the ocean was deeper. Today, the ocean is shallower and the reefs are six miles offshore, providing
a barrier to wave action. Thus, with little sand to begin with, and a
lack of wave action to deposit more, beaches in the Keys are a bit of
a rarity.
