About Bathtub Beach

Bathtub Beach is a unique coastal gem located in Martin County, Florida, celebrated for its exceptionally calm and shallow waters, earning it the "bathtub effect" nickname. This tranquility is due to an offshore reef system, formed by a unique ecological feature, which acts as a natural barrier, minimizing wave impact. It's an ideal destination for families, snorkelers, and those seeking a serene beach experience, with the added bonus of being a vital habitat for diverse marine life, including endangered sea turtles.
