Beach, sun, fun, and a lobster roll, too! Get an annual pass so you can enjoy this lovely pristine beach year round. More

went in the spring. nothing was open that was there. no food not even a bathroom open close to the beach that day. but did find one close to the entrance/exit. but that's a ways to go from the beach... but close would have been nicer. got beautiful shells too. spring is a great time of year for me.

Honeymood Island was rated #1 beach in the USA a few years ago, and it seems Fort De Soto, just south of Honeymoon as the bird flies wins the award a lot nowadays. In my mind, Honeymoon Island is much better than Fort De Soto. The beaches are beautiful and the nature trail -- it's really two trails, Pelican and... More

This is a beautiful park with great trails and a awesome shoreline. Our North Shore beach walk was cut short due to rain but the mile we did walk was great for shelling and the dolphins just off the shoreline all afternoon were great to watch. There was an abundance of wildlife in the air, on land and in the... More

Beautiful and natural seashore park on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Wonderful for shelling. I saw bald eagles with babies in a nest, rattle snake, tortoise, sting-rays. This place is anatural wonder. Not commercialized like Clearwater. i love this beach. More

My husband and I first visited Honeymoon Island State Park in April 2008, while on vacation. We thought it was a fabulous beach, left "natural," meaning that nature carves out the beach the way it is intended to be, according to weather patterns and the seasons, as opposed to a "groomed" beach, where there are hotels, condos, etc. Since Honeymoon...

Bring bug spray, it is a natural beach. It was a little expensive, but nice to go to a beach without trash. More
