Verified traveler

We had the Florida pass but it still took 2 hours to get through one lane of traffic. They charge too much to use the beaches. Then we sat in 2-1/2 hours of traffic trying to get back coming off the island. What is disgrace!! WON'T EVER BOTHER GOING THERE AGAIN, NOT WORTH IT.

5/5 - Excellent

4/5 - Good

Grab a bike and bike the island. All the paths are shaded and it's an easy ride from one end to the other.
