Caladesi Island State Park Marina

The staff were friendly and attentive. We got to Honeymoon Beach at 8:30am and the wait was about 10 minutes. Please watch the speed limit of 10mph- strictly enforced. The ticket booth opens at 9:30am- it’s $20 per adult. We travelled with minimal stuff. We packed a lunch bag and our beach bag with towels. The park provides beach chairs and umbrellas for convenience $35+tax just walk up to a chair and make yourself comfortable. The attendant comes by and you pay by credit card, Apple Pay or Debit. Very easy. You get 2 free drinks with purchase of beach chairs. We stayed until 2pm. Make sure to keep tickets as this is your way back on to boat. It ticket is stamped with a return time, but you can return earlier or later- you get first preference on your return time. Tipping is graciously accepted y the beach chair attendant and boat crew. They work hard for you to enjoy your stay. There is plenty of restrooms, shower area to clean yourself and gear, and a snack bar area too.

First time visiting the island and it did not disappoint. Got to experience Honeymoon Island before taking the ferry to Caladesi and it was well worth it. Both beaches were beautiful. Loved that the beach was not crowded and the clean amenities. Will definitely be back again.

What a gorgeous beach! We didnt know what to expect from this, this being the first time really exploring this section of Florida, but it was well worth it! The ferrie ride to the island was short, but we were lucky enough to see a few dolphins swimming by. Walking up to the beach is one of my favorite things to do in Flordia and this one did not disappoint! Water was clear and cool on a hot floridian day and there were shells galore for those that collect. Highly recommend!

This is an awesome park to visit and well worth the $20 to ride the ferry over to the island. There is a restaurant with great food and of course restrooms. I wanted to put some of my mom's ashes in the water as she requested last year when she passed away. What a beautiful place and I will definitely be back.

Enter through honeymoon Island and take the the $20 per person ferry over. Maximum 4-Hour stay per person to help keep the occupancy limited. Beautiful white sand beach with great show hunting.
