Item Description

Win a gift certificate good for 2 tickets aboard the Egmont Key Ferry in Florida!

Spend some time exploring a beautiful pristine island paradise by taking the ferry to Egmont Key State Park from Fort De Soto in Florida! Get ready for a day of fun in the sun with Hubbard’s Marina. The ferry boat operates daily in the spring and summer and nearly every day in the fall and winter (check the schedule for exact times and days of availability). The ferry ride to the island offers great chances to spot dolphins, sea turtles, and sometimes even manatees!

Once on the island, Egmont Key offers great shelling, swimming, and opportunities for adventures. Explore Fort Dade which dates back to the Spanish American war era and is spread out along the island’s interior. Egmont Key is also home to a large population of native gopher tortoises! These large, slow-moving tortoises are an endangered species, so you can’t touch them, but they make for great photos as you spot them throughout the island’s interior.

Egmont Key Lighthouse

Egmont Key has a fully operational lighthouse that has been helping ships navigate the waters of Tampa Bay since the 1800’s. Although the Lighthouse is in service, and you can explore the grounds around the tower, it is not open to the public for climbing. However, if you see the ranger on the island, they will tell you all about it!

Egmont Key is also home to a large nature preserve – nearly half of the island is blocked to guests, allowing the native seabirds and sea turtles a section of undisturbed beach. This nature preserve area is home to tons of nesting birds and nesting turtles and we cruise around this area by boat when you take the snorkeling cruise option.
