Caladesi Island

What an awesome experience! Include beautiful beaches, swimming, sunbathing, shelling, fishing, and kayaking. You can also hike the nature trails, have a picnic, or visit the marina. The island is a great place for nature lovers to explore pristine beaches and mangrove forests, and is accessible only by boat or ferry.

Best island ever! Absolutely stunning beach! Unspoiled and very peaceful vibe. Definitely must-visit! The beach staff was super friendly.

Yes yes yes. Well even went back a second time this trip. Shelling was perfect. Great finds including some I’ve never seen in person.

It's a little bit of a hike to get there but well worth it! *Hidden gem 💎 definitely a must visit!

Best island ever, the ferry was perfect, the water was perfect, the captain driving the ferry was very polite, and we got to see dolphins! Seashells galore, food in the concession building/nice seating at the beach for rent plus an umbrella for shade. They also have a nice nature walk you can walk on, very relaxing. Coming back next vacation!

Perfect island getaway for your next day trip! We came over to the island with our own boat and they have plenty of spots to dock. It’s only $6 to visit and includes your entire day trip. There is also a ferry that runs from Clearwater to the island and the ferry seemed to shuttle back and forth fairly quickly. There is a great cafe on the island that serves a good variety of food and drinks (including alcoholic beverages) for a reasonable price. Plenty of space though on the beach that takes you away from the crowds on Clearwater. Well worth a visit if you’re looking to experience a more private and relaxing beach day.

Spectacular island to visit with kayak for a full day. You can rent there for 1 or 2 people kayak, and the guys over there are very kind and recommends for you to have a wonderful an quiet summer day! You must try it!

😱 what a beautiful place! We got a private charter from Clearwake Watersports and Captain Ryan took us here! We loved it so much we stayed the entire day and enjoyed this beautiful beach! Get ahold of Captain Ryan he was an incredible tour guide and we can’t wait to go back and have him take us here again!!!
