Caladesi Island State Park is a completely natural island off of Florida’s Gulf Coast. Consistently rated as one of the best beaches in America, Caladesi Park’s white sand beach is an excellent place for swimming, sunbathing, and beach-combing. Explorers can hike the three-mile nature trail, or take a kayak on a three-mile pathway through the mangrove swamps.
Near the beach there is a picnic area with tables, shelters, and a children’s playground; a snack bar and gift shop are also available there. The island is only accessible by ferry or by private boat; visitors arriving by boat may pull into the island’s 108-slip marina, which has water and electrical hookup. Surf fishing is permitted.
