Review:
Located up in Old Town, which is a relatively short drive north along the coastline from Cedar Key, Shired Island Beach is a long, expansive stretch of sand with a lot of pretty palm trees dotted along it, offering nice spots of shade to cool off on sunny days. There's a very popular campground here, with many visitors choosing to bring along a tent or RV and spend a few nights in the area to really make the most of their visit. The beach is connected to the Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge and is home to all kinds of fascinating flora and fauna, making this Florida beach a big hit with nature lovers and wildlife spotting enthusiasts. It's also a great place to do some shore fishing, but there aren't any charters or fishing stores nearby, so you'll need to bring your own equipment. Click here for fishing license fees and info.
