Dunedin, FL

Caladesi Island is located just off the coast of Honeymoon Island. As a matter of fact, there is a ferry that takes you to Caladesi Island and it leaves from Honeymoon Island State Park, which is connected to the mainland via the Dunedin Causeway.

Ferries begin running at 8am and continue until Sunset. The price is $9. for adults and $5.50 for children ages 4-12. You can take a cooler with your lunch along with you and don't forget PLENTY of sunscreen for a wonderful day on this fantastic island in the Gulf of Mexico.

There are showers and bathrooms out on the island as well as a small store that sells cool drinks. You can also grill on the island and if you want, you can get there with your own boat! It is a great place to spend the day. Kids adore the place! Just remember to stay on the paths since I have seen rattlesnakes out there before! If you stay on the paths and keep your eyes open, you will have a wonderful time!

Honeymoon Island has undertaken a wonderful restoration project! The park service has planted sea grasses which are now marked off so people let them grow. Once these grasses have reached maturity, they will protect the island and offer shelter to more birds.

The island is also regularly patrolled by the park rangers in their 4 wheel drive vehicles and by the air patrol.

Honeymoon Island - Paradise in Pinellas - this series could not be complete without the typical vacation photo of some of the seashells, a piece of sponge that washed up and a horseshoe crab! A tourist had collected these and I wanted to share!

For those who enjoy fishing, you can also fish from the shore for snook, redfish, snapper and other saltwater fish!

Pack a picnic lunch, a good book and some toys for the kids - plan on spending a wonderful day in a fantastic tropical paradise!

That is the city of Clearwater in the background! Oh, by the way, don't forget to bring plenty of sunscreen when you visit Honeymoon Island!!!

I mentioned nesting sea birds and sea turtles....well here are the signs to remind you that there are areas in the interior of the island that are strictly for these nesting natives of the island!

Honeymoon Island - Paradise in Pinellas - it wasn't always that way. In 1880 it was called Hog Island because (you guessed it) there was a hog farm out on the island!

Today there are beautiful indigenous plants, like these sea grapes, growing on the island. The park is also home to nesting sea birds and sea turtles, both of which are protected by the park service!

With a gorgeous winding coastline, Honeymoon Island is one of the most beautiful places to experience Florida at it's best! With over 200 varieties of native plants (including mangroves, slash pines, salt marshes and sea grass beds) and nesting sites along the nature trails for Ospreys, you will be glad that you visited this tropical paradise!

There is also a separate pet beach where you and your pet can enjoy the surf together! Not many beaches offer this!!!

Honeymoon Island is indeed Paradise in Pinellas County! I remember going out there by boat with my folks in the 50's and 60's. There was no causeway back then, so there were no cars! It was great! Just you and the island inhabitants, which included various forms of marine life and a large assortment of birds!

During my high school days they built the causeway and suddenly everyone knew where Honeymoon Island was. This tropical paradise off the coast of Dunedin has since become one of our most beautiful state parks!

Recently the park service updated all of the beach facilities which include showers and full bathroom facilities as well as one building that sells refreshments. There is also a new visitor educational center on the island!

Here you can clean off your seashells or your feet before heading to the parking (which is free). As you can see, they have also installed swings for couples to relax and watch the sunset.

Honeymoon Island is approximately 1.5 miles off the coast of Florida. The park service charges $5. for a car full of people to enter the park or $3. if the car has a single occupant!
