Quiet at the time of year we went, beautifully clean and plenty of places to stopm for a picnic. Bike hire available and recommended.

I had read about this park from Trip Advisor and me and my group decided to give it a try.
The fort, historically, was not very significant. There were no guides or interpreters present the day I visited. This was disappointing. On the up side the remains and the cannon are very well preserved.
The fishing pier is very nice...

I was not prepared for such a natural and beautiful setting as the North Beach at this park. So much is left in its natural state that it is unlike any beach I have been on. There is even a spot where you are in the water yet shaded by a large tree. Worth the drive and it is only...

A unique looking beach park...and the North Beach is very clear and calm. Must be due to the currents or such...Probably the second clearest beach I have ever been to, except for Caladesi Island. Definitely worth your entrance fee and tolls to get there---I would imagine the sunsets are beautiful. :) Lots of facilities, and the fort is interesting, not...

Fort de Soto park is beautiful. You don't have to walk far along the beach to get away from the crowds. Whilst we were sitting having our lunch, we saw a dolphin swim in the water next to us, and a pelican and heron wait companionably for fish to come to them. There are good views over Tampa Bay and...

I've been to 2 weddings on the beach there and it was beautiful! Had the reception under the huge pavillion.

Things have changed. It used to cost $.35 a car, now it is $5.00 a car. That is quite a jump. We like to go to the beach farthest to the north, it is the shortest walk from the parking lot to the beach. There are picnic tables in the wooded area. We have rented kayaks and traveled through the...
