Review:

A short drive south along the coastline from Cedar Key, Fort Island Gulf Beach is a picturesque little spot on the Sunshine State's Gulf Coast. Beautiful blue waters and soft sands can be found here, with this Florida beach being well known for its long fishing and sightseeing pier, with a nice open area at the end of the pier to sit and admire the outstanding views. A pretty little boardwalk connects the beach to the pier and there are some great amenities here including clean showers, picnic areas, a boat ramp, and restrooms. So if you’re interested in doing some fishing near Cedar Key or just want to stretch out on a sizeable beach with friends and family, this is the place to be.
