With 3 miles of untouched white sandy beaches, it’s easy to see why Caladesi Island consistently ranks as one of America’s top beaches. It’s a great place for shelling, hiking the trails, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, or just lying on the beach.
The island is accessible by only by private boat, ferry, or a mile long walk from Clearwater beach.
The Caladesi Island Ferry is located within the Honeymoon Island State park. You will pay an entry fee for the park and then another fee for the ferry.
The ferry will dock on the bay side and then you will take about a 10 minute walk to the beach.
We took the ferry, but I have been told that you can walk from Clearwater Beach. It is about a mile north of Pier 60.
The Bay side
Tips for the trip:
- Take a bag for all of your beach treasures. You can find a variety of shells, starfish, sea urchins, sand dollars, coral, and sponges.
- Go early in the morning to get the best shells.
- There is a store on the island to get food, drinks, and other things you may need, but it is quite a walk from the beach area. I would suggest carrying your own food and drink or purchase something from the store before heading to the beach.
Happy Travels!
