New Port Richey Beaches
Robert K. Rees Memorial Park (was formally known as Green Key Beach)
Looking for sunsets? This is an outstanding site to view the Florida
sunset. Located on Green Key along the Gulf of Mexico, this beach is a
leisurely place to sunbathe, swim, canoe, fish, or just relax. There is
also a boardwalk to take a nice stroll and view some of Florida's tropical
landscape. This unique beach and park combination makes it a wonderful
place to both relax and play, for both individuals and families alike in
Pasco County.
