Men and women enjoy a sunny day on the sand at Higgs Beach in Key West, Florida. (January 4, 2019)

This artificial beach, located at the southern end of Reynolds St, has barbecue grills, picnic tables and a long pier, where you can go out and watch the sunset. The sands get crowded. Go early in the day to stake out a good spot.
