Green Key, officially Robert K. Rees Memorial Park, is a west-facing Gulf beach. The current county directory lists sunrise-to-sunset hours; older county sources document a public blueway launch and restrooms, but those records are expired and the migrated launch-specific page is unavailable. Do not assume the old free, parking, restroom, or rinse-shower claims are current. If access is available, the open exposure means west wind can build real chop, so verify the launch and pick a calm window.

How clear is the water?

What will I see?

What's the fishing like?
Open Gulf beach and flats: snook, trout, and redfish along the grass, pompano and whiting in the wash.
How do I share the water here?
This is a resting and feeding beach for shorebirds, so give any flock a wide arc instead of paddling or walking it up off the sand, and keep boards and dogs clear of any posted nesting areas in spring and summer. The grass off the beach is seagrass: walk out to open sand before you climb on rather than dragging through it.
See how it scores before you drive out.
