Not far from the mainland, this island has a wonderful state park on its northern tip. You can get there by ferry, private boat(there are slips) or kayak(about 8 miles 1 way). A trolley takes you the 1/2 from the docks to the gulf side of the island where the campground is. The sites are very spacious with fire pits, picnic table and at some sites a place to hang a hammock. There are also cabins to rent. There is a bathroom with outdoor showers. Once there you can go to the beach, collect shells, hike, fish, kayak, geocache and watch the stars at night. We were there during a meteor shower and had a fantastic show on the beach that night. I highly recommend this little spot of paradise off the Florida coast.
