Anclote Gulf Park

Beautiful place to go enjoy the outdoors. Boating ramp, picnic tables, beach areas, & bathrooms. We also enjoy completing our 5K races at this park!! They close it off for us early so no traffic to get there.

This is such a beautiful place! I love the smell of the salt water and I hope to go fishing here someday soon.

Looking for a low-key Florida gem? You need to check out Anclote Gulf Park in Holiday! 🌴✨ It’s the perfect spot for a chill day out with something for literally everyone (including the pups!). ●🎣 Fishing Goals: There’s a huge 500-foot fishing pier that’s open 24/7. Perfect for catching those sunset views. ●🍔 Cookout Ready: Grab a picnic shelter and fire up the grill! They’re right next to the children's playground, so you can eat while the kids burn off energy. ●🐕 Dog Heaven: They have two fenced-in areas so big and small dogs can run wild safely. ●🌿 Nature Walk: Take the boardwalk through the woods—it’s super peaceful and leads you right to a small beach area to dip your toes in. ●🚻 The Basics: Don't worry, they have clean restrooms and plenty of parking. Whether you’re here to fish, hike, or just soak up the Gulf breeze, this park is a total win. 🌊☀️

Kids love this place, little playground.But the boardwalk trails make up for it there is a peer here and there is very good fish in here. Next to the power plant, my kids love walking the shoreline, finding different stuff. Shells, feathers, all kinds of stuff. And if you walk down further, you can go up on the observatory tower, which is pretty cool. Good fishing down there but very shallow Good place to have a picnic.Make sure you bring something to drink with you it's a very beautiful, plenty of marked trails.And if you bring a dog, just have it on a leash

UPDATE 5 months later 8/10/25: The pier and trails/boardwalk are open again! My kids had a great time, the weather was super nice. They love the outdoors and exploring new trails with me. The trail near the end of the park past the playground leads all the way to Key Vista Nature park, the pier was beautiful too, so windy and water nice and clear! Even the playground was really fun, they added so much more stuff! It used to be so small if you look at the pics from before. Now there’s Rick climbing walls, swings, two playgrounds instead of one small one, it was great! Could use more shade though! Definitely would recommend First review from April 2025: I would’ve gave this 5 stars but the pier and boardwalk on the other side of the park are both closed, I’m guessing due to hurricane damage, probably for safety, but this isn’t mentioned in the description that some things are temporarily closed at the park. Either way, there is a nice little playground with tons of space and fields to run around. My twins still made the most of it as they always do with anything in front of them! There’s shaded picnic areas and public bathrooms. There’s still access to the water if you want to swim or fish and it’s still rather beautiful, the views are nice! It would’ve been fun to hit the trail and the boardwalk/pier as my kids love trails but hopefully it all gets fixed soon so we can come back and enjoy it!
