Virginia Key Beach 75TH Anniversary Welcomes Family Stories

Commemorates the 75th anniversary of the historic “wade-in” protest that led to the establishment of Virginia Key Beach Park in 1945. A group of African American citizens bravely defied segregation laws to demand a public beach for the Colored population. The protest was successful, and Virginia Key Beach became a popular destination for the Black community.

Invest Miami: Historic Virginia Key is Looking to the Future

Historic Virginia Key Beach Park has a rich history dating back to the 1920s. It was once a haven for African Americans during segregation but was closed in the 1980s. Thanks to the efforts of the Virginia Key Beach Park Civil Rights Task Force, the park reopened in 2008 and is now both an environmental preserve and a cultural event space.
