This was on our Summer list of to-dos because we never knew about it. We read reviews on tripadvisor and planned our trip. Shuttle is scheduled for every hour, we missed the shuttle by a minute and saw it going away, but the driver to us over as soon as he got back (great driver). I would recommend going on... More

Pack a lunch...take the little ferry over and enjoy paradise! Bring a book and stay for the day. You can fish there. You can pretend you have your own island.

Lots of different areas for one fairly small island. Despite its size, we spent several hours. It's nice because it's fairly secluded. I think there we're 8 people on the whole island.

This facility easily accommodate a large group/social gathering. While pricey, it was very clean and spacious, with breakfast included in the price.

Very good for who likes the outdoor, little place of Florida that has been untouched. Park has 2 trails with picnic area, small playground for the kids and if you like fishing you can do it in some areas of the park. Free boat shuttle to the island and I found out there that the island has a history with... More

Access is by a park department boat leaving from the city park which is located on the north side of the Hillsboro Bridge. There are two... More

Spent some time on the beach during November 2011. The winds were very high and there was a rip present, so nobody was in the surf. Great pier for fishing or sightseeing ($1/person) to walk on the pier. Beach sand was soft and had plenty of lifeguards and beach chairs/canopies to rent.

I took a trip with my family during the second week of Jan and I must say the park is well kept, very tidy with several picnic tables and grills off the initial boarded path. We had a small picnic and the weather was awesome during this time of year in S Fla. One of the trails was closed for... More

This is a lovely activity if you have an hour or a full day. A pontoon boat (limit 10 people) takes you over to the island. The docks are handicapped accessible and the board walk could accomodate a wheelchair for a short stroll. There are 2 nature trails with alot of beautiful follage, very shady, easy walk. We took many... More
