Description

Don Pedro Island State Park, nestled between Knight Island and Little Gasparilla Island, is a secluded paradise accessible only by boat, ferry, or kayak. With a mile of white sandy beach, it's ideal for sunbathing, swimming, snorkeling, and shelling. Boaters can dock on the bay side via a shallow channel. Wildlife enthusiasts may spot West Indian manatees, bald eagles, and gopher tortoises. Visitors can also explore hiking trails, enjoy a picnic under the pavilion, or fish from the pier. The park’s land base on the Cape Haze Peninsula offers a fishing dock, kayak launch, and nature trails for further adventure.
