This is a gorgeous, natural beach on the Gulf. We visited in September of 2007. It was so peaceful, my kids spent hours playing in the sand, they caught hermit crabs and explored tide pools, it was amazing. If you like seashells and wildlife, this is the place to be. My son brought home 2 huge buckets of beautiful shells.We... more

Honeymoon Island is a bit different. It's kind of like an untouched park. With all the great beaches in the area this isn't the one to come and do the normal beach routine. Honeymoon island is an untouched masterpiece. It doesn't have all the crowds of people, and tourist activities and pristine beaches to play on. This is great beach... more

During a one week stay in the area (mid-February) we came out to Honeymoon Island twice. For a $5 entry fee you can walk trails, see the small but informative nature center and enjoy a nice playground (the playground is inland, not on the beach). And of course there is plenty of beach access. There is one snack bar with... more

We drove out to Honeymoon island with some time to kill and were not disappointed. There's a cafe right on the beach with limited food choices, but an adorable patio overlooking the water. The beach is a bit rocky and grassy compared to other beaches in the area, but the island is just beautiful and wild looking. And there were... more

I'm so glad I checked the reviews here before my recent trip to the Tampa/Clearwater/St Petersburg area -I never would have discovered this beach on my own and it was fantastic. We went over Labor Day weekend and the beach was not crowded at all, the water was warm and clear, beach was clean with white sand, and the weather... more

Went to Honeymoon Island July of 2006 and it's still my favorite place. We went towards the end of a two week and this was one of the highlights of our vacation. Kids played for hours with hermit crabs .. as a matter of fact it's January, and they still are talking about it! I am seriously thinking of visiting... more

My husband and I visited Honeymoon Island State Park today in hopes of catching the ferry that is supposed to depart every hour on the hour to Caladesi Island (which was just ranked one of the top 10 beached in the United States). After we made the two+ hour trip to the park from Orlando, we were disappointed to find... more

Not much there. Beach isn't a beach. It was rocks. It was good for a long walk but that's it. more

What an exciting time to visit Honeymoon Island, as they were in the process of making a movie. Not only that, but with all the nature trails on which we could view Eagles, Osprey, Gopher Tortoise, and many varities of shoebirds. Then there were the beautiful sandy beaches loaded with all sorts of sea shells. A definite stop for those... more
