Caladesi Island State Park

One of Florida's few remaining undisturbed barrier islands.

Reviewed By Kellylroche - Saint Joseph, United States

This was a simple morning paddle for our family of 4 (8 & 10 yr olds). We rented two double kayaks from Sail Honeymoon for 2 hours ($45/kayak) which was long enough to paddle over, explore the Caladesi Island and paddle back. The tide was low and we even found an area of live sand dollars on the way. Highly recommend!

Pinellas Trail

Reviewed By MourningWarbler

Whew! Have really enjoyed using this trail both for recreation and for getting places! Beautiful to be out and getting some fresh air! Along the path I take are homes, businesses, a school, and parks, such as Wall Springs Park (restrooms). The trail is provides for two-way bike traffic and a pathway for walkers. As for access, I am a resident, not a tourist, and I'm able to come from my home. Others also converge onto the trail from their communities. Some people park at neighboring parking lots. Some park along the road. There are places along the way to stop for refreshments, and that would include restrooms. I would encourage people with bicycles to take the trail; not sure how it is for those going by foot.

How lovely to be able to sit for a bit, relax, then stroll down along Edgewater to the water on St Joe Sound, where you always see neat birds, nice people, and occasionally, a dolphon or two pop up. The park has a nice playground and restrooms available.

Reviewed By DrSandyD - Pinckney, United States

Nice walking trails, very well marked. Maps are plentiful. Very picturesque area. Rest rooms, disc golf, kids playground and a butterfly garden. Excellent place to visit. Also check out the historic church by the entrance. You can also turn off the Pinellas trail, just follow the signs north of downtown Dunedin.
