Message from the Manager
We would like to invite you to visit Caladesi Island State Park.
From 3 miles of nature trail and 108-slip marina to the 5th best
natural beach in the Nation, Caladesi Island has something for
everyone. Picnic pavilions, bathhouses, and a park concession
all make the visit more comfortable. Fishing, shelling, and nature
studies are all ways to further enjoy a visit to Caladesi Island
State Park. From Channel marker #14, just west of Dunedin Causeway
Bridge, take an approximately 212-degree heading on your compass
for approximately 1-mile. Follow the channel markers into Caladesi
Island State Park marina. If you like, there is a ferryboat available
that leaves from near-by Honeymoon Island State Park that departs
daily, weather permitting, at 10:00 AM. Thank you and we hope
you enjoy your stay with us.
