Review:

Located in the Gulf of Mexico across St. Joseph and north of Clearwater Beach, Caladesi Island is one of the last truly natural islands on Florida´s Gulf Coast. The park can be reached by boat or by ferry, which leaves from Honeymoon Island State Park. Caladesi´s white sand beaches are among the most magnificent in the country. They are perfect for swimming, beachcombing, sunbathing, and surf fishing.

The three mile long nature trail offers nature lovers the opportunity to spot wildlife while hiking through the interior of the island.

Paddling a kayak trail through the bay and mangroves is another way to see the wild side of Florida.

There are picnic tables, shelters and picnic pavilions, and a marina with water and electric hookups.
