The Gulf Beaches near Palm Harbor
Honeymoon Island State Park in Dunedin is a short drive from Palm Harbor
but so different from the hustle and bustle of Clearwater Beach. Tucked the
western corner of Dunedin in Pinellas County, the island is home to sandy beaches,
nature trails, and abundant wildlife. Visitors can walk, skate or drive across the
Dunedin Causeway to enjoy the awesome Gulf beaches, tidal flats and mangrove
swamps. Lovers of nature lovers will explore osprey nests and one of the last
virgin slash pine forests found in Southern Florida. The park has many nature
trails and bird observation areas. You can swim, snorkel, or fish in the warm
waters of the Gulf or picnic while you enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Shelling is
fantastic here, as the Gulf currents wash up a variety of seashells on the shore.

Caladesi Island State Park in Dunedin is just off the coast from Palm Harbor.
Caladesi's fine white sand has been rated as one of the nation's best beaches.
Everyone thinks that you can only get to the park by ferry or private boat from
Honeymoon Island State Park. But that's not really true. You can get to
Caladesi Island on foot if you can endure the long walk on the beach from
north Clearwater beach. Take plenty of water and sun block. Families can
enjoy sunbathing, swimming, and beach walking. People can fish from their
boats or stand on the beach and throw a fishing line out into the surf. Nature
lovers observe wildlife while strolling the nature trail through the island or paddling
a kayak trail through the mangroves and bay. Picnic facilities and shelters are located
near the beach. The park also has a marina with water hook up and electric for
various boaters. Of course, the park has a snack bar and gift shop too.
