Ross Witham Beach, Florida, United States
4.5 (11 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #20 in Stuart Beaches
Lovely & almost private!
Different than other beaches in southern Florida. I'm told these rocks are petrified coral - a consequence of lowered sea level over thousands of years. Very cool! And, knowing the history of the pirate Gilbert makes it even more interesting! We really enjoyed the hour or so we spent here. Just beautiful!

Winter visit.
We visited on a cool, windy, February, sunny day. It was quite empty as the water was cold and full of Man Of Wars, but it was beautiful and not crowded. I would like to see what this area is like in the summer time. The limestone rocks are unusual, but I would say hazardous for young kids to climb on or try to swim near. Be careful of rock poking through the sand.

Not your typical Florida Beach
Witham Beach is located adjacent to the historic House Of Refuge on Hutchinson Island. This beautiful beach is made of large chunks of Anestasia Limestone that are fun to explore. On low tide you can walk on the sand in front of the limestone which at 8-10 feet high will towers above your head. Take a close look at the face of the limestone and see if you can spot some intertidal creatures - periwinkle snails, limpets, barnacles, chitons, sea anemones and a variety of algae just to name a few! On high tide, enjoy the spectacle of waves crashing against the rock and water shooting into the air through blow holes in the rock!
