Beach Party at Honeymoon Island

One of the world's most beautiful beaches is close to home, and part of the reason Caladesi Island has remained so lovely is that it is only accessible by water. Start your excursion by taking the causeway from Dunedin to Honeymoon Island State Park in north Pinellas County. You can skimboard, bird watch, fish, snorkel, picnic or just catch some rays. From Honeymoon, catch the ferry to Caladesi. Island!
Bring your pup, too, because there's a dog park on the south beach. Animals are also allowed on the marked trails and in the picnic area. For more information visit floridastateparks.org/honeymoonisland .
