Caladesi Island State Park

First time visiting the island and it did not disappoint. Got to experience Honeymoon Island before taking the ferry to Caladesi and it was well worth it. Both beaches were beautiful. Loved that the beach was not crowded and the clean amenities. Will definitely be back again.

What a gorgeous beach! We didnt know what to expect from this, this being the first time really exploring this section of Florida, but it was well worth it! The ferrie ride to the island was short, but we were lucky enough to see a few dolphins swimming by. Walking up to the beach is one of my favorite things to do in Flordia and this one did not disappoint! Water was clear and cool on a hot floridian day and there were shells galore for those that collect. Highly recommend!

Pure Awesomeness! From the ferry ride there, to the unspoiled natural beauty, white sand & sparkling water. Capt Steve & First Mate George were very friendly & helpful. Reasonable prices...$8 Park entrance fee, $20 Round trip ferry ride, $35 Cabana rental which includes 2 chairs, an umbrella and 2 fountain drinks. Made to order sandwiches $9 - $14 (We ordered the BLT, Tuna salad & burgers, including a veggie burger). All delicious and prepared & served with smiles from Sean & Slavisa :) All around...a beautiful experience!

This is hands down my favorite beach in Florida! The white sand and turquoise water are absolutely stunning. We’ve been here twice now, and it’s the perfect spot to relax and spend the day. While it’s still bouncing back from hurricane damage, it’s definitely worth the visit!

Absolutely wonderful solo day trip. Took the ferry over from honeymoon Island and immediately regretted not aligning my time with the tides so that I could kayak the mangroves. A beautiful place to kayak, shell hunt, and observable wildlife. The dolphins are lovely and there's some cool fish. There is very little access to shade. Bring lots of sunscreen!
