Honeymoon Island State Park

Florida's most-visited state park — a 4-mile barrier island at the end of the Dunedin Causeway. Bird-rich (osprey, herons, eagles) with an Osprey Trail through one of the last virgin slash-pine forests in South Florida, a dedicated pet beach at the south tip, and the passenger ferry to Caladesi Island leaves from the marina.
