Description

Fort Island Gulf Beach, located at the end of Fort Island Trail in Citrus County, Florida, is a family-friendly destination with soft white sand, a roped-off swimming area, and calm, shallow waters—perfect for all ages. The beach features restrooms, showers, ample parking, and covered picnic pavilions, making it an ideal spot for a day of relaxation. A boardwalk lets you enjoy views of local wildlife, and a fishing pier offers another way to experience the Gulf's beauty. During summer, food vendors are available, or you can bring your own packed lunch. Dolphins are frequently seen swimming in the gulf waters, adding to the beach's charm.
