Golden Beach Boulder Reef

On January 10, 2005, the Golden Beach Artificial Reef Site was inaugurated with the deployment of approximately 850 tons of limestone boulders. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Division of Marine Fisheries provided an artificial reef construction grant to cost-share the creation of Miami-Dade County's newest artificial reef. The boulders were deployed in 45' of water about one nautical mile east of the Town of Golden Beach. The boulders are arranged in three distinct "patch" reefs, lying 30-50' apart and ranging in size from 45'Lx35'Wx9'H to 70'Lx35'Wx12'H.
