You can see for miles, over the open water. Several pavillions are available to keep you out of the sun, or spread out your towels and chairs to enjoy the heat. Changing rooms, and restrooms are available.

We stopped by the park for lunch. The food was very tasty considering it is a little vendor by the beach. We had a delightful time. We would go back if we had more time.

First of all unless you arrive there early in the morning you are not going to get in for the lack of parking. January 1st we went there around noon, waited in line to get in for 30 min. and then rite at the gate the man told us that the park is full and we have to come back in 30 min. to check. Keep in mind the line of 20 or more cars behind us, so we had to give our space in line and come back... It happened to us 2-3 times prior to January 1st, when we could not get in. At this point, I said never again we are going to that frog pond. That brings us to the second downfall of that place. At high tide at the deepest spot you are lucky if you get in a water up to you waist, at low tide all it is you will get in up to you knees. Overcrowded, lack of parking, absence of swim-able depths-all that makes that place a no go for us. If I have to wake up early, I might as well drive to Honey Moon Island and enjoy the real beach.

We stopped in for a sunset. No pay after 4:30. The kids got to see crabs, stingray, horseshoe crab and dolphins. It was a nice time.

Great little state park. Clean, beautiful spot. Can get crowded on the weekend and the lot is small so can fill up fast. Only $5 to park, the concession stand food was pretty decent and mostly reasonably priced.

This is a nice, quiet beach to relax, sun and float. The water is not deep and there are no waves. Parking is $5 and gets crowded. Great beach for little kids (if quiet) . Lots of seniors on the beach.

Is thePark open on Christmas Day?

I do not know. Best way to find out is to go to Hernando County Parks and Recreation and ask if Pine Island Beach is open Christmas Day.

Is parking free after 5:00 ?

Savannah, GA7 contributions
Hi Bob P, when we visited back in July of this year, there was a parking fee for as long as you stayed. If you came in the morning and left, you'd have to pay another $5 when you returned. In answer to your question, there is no discount after 5.
Can you park a motor home there?

No. There are handicapped spaces available, but you still have to pay the $5 fee.

I don't recall seeing anything posted that would prevent it but as one of the other reviews suggested, probably a good idea to call first.
