If you are headed down to the Florida Keys and looking for a place to get some great photos, Anne's Beach in Islamorada is a great place to stop and explore. It was was devastated by Hurricane Irma but reopened in 2019 with new boardwalks pavilions.
If you look on Trip Advisor, you will see a lot of negative comments about parking and the lack of actual beach. We were there in January so we had not trouble finding a parking spot in the small parking area.
The beach has been described as "clay-like" and "muddy" which is pretty accurate. It was also super slick, almost like walking on ice and I slid many times.
You can wade out quiet a distance and only be up to your knees. The beach has little to no wave action and is very shallow which is perfect for young children and dogs.
