When people think about great beaches, they usually think about the core elements, like water current, sand quality, and water clarity. Well, Caladesi Island gets high marks for all three. But it's the solitude, and the lack of crowds, which makes this island special and appealing. And because of the tropical atmosphere, Caladesi Island is continuously honored as one of America's top beaches, year in and year out.
The island has about 3 miles of beautiful unspoiled beaches, with white sand and calm surf. While visiting Caladesi Island, you can walk the beach or nature trails, picnic in shaded pavilions, or let your kids play in the children's playground. To access Caladesi Island, you take a ferry boat from Honeymoon Island. The boat departs every half hour, for the short voyage over to Caladesi Island. Make sure to include this beautiful island on your Florida vacation list of things to do.
Out on the island, the park's concession stand offers food, beverages, and beach supplies. Umbrellas and beach chairs are available for rent. Showers and bathrooms are also available.
