There’s a hidden escape in South Florida that you need to add to your summer bucket list. This beautiful, quiet beach in the Florida Keys has been mostly abandoned, except for the few locals that seek out its secluded shorelines. You can explore this unique spot and, if the timing is right, you may even have the beach all to yourself.
Geiger Beach is also known as Boca Chica Beach. You can reach it by car on US 1 from Key West. You’ll turn right onto Boca Chica Road which takes you to its sandy shores stretching alongside a washed-out roadway.
A local gem that doubles as a tropical oasis, the spot is often quiet with loads of privacy according to Google reviews from past visitors, making it the perfect place for a solo escape. You’ll find strange things onshore at Geiger Key. The beach is covered in makeshift driftwood structures that look like something out of Cast Away.
