I agree with E-Bone, if you have the means to do so, go hit an island off the mainland. But in case you don't have that luxury and the boats are being used, on the right wind direction there are a couple of safe launches from the mainland.
Key West has a long strip of beach called Smathers Beach with nice access to some good flat water. Bahia Honda is a key next to Big Pine Key where I stayed is a State Park that encompasses all of that key and has some safe launches for a few different wind directions, flat water there too. Check 'em out Bob!!!
There is also a launch up around Islamorada on the side of the road, but don't even bother stopping...it is WAY sketchy, about 100 times sketchier than the backside of the Skyway launch!
Hope you have fun Bob!
