Visiting Cayo Costa (near St. M. 25)
Cayo Costa is one of the most delightful barrier islands on the Western Florida coastline. And, not the least of reasons for that is this isle is a Florida State Park, and completely protected from development. What a delight is is to anchor in Pelican Bay, dinghy in to the park dock, and them walk across the isle to the beach. It doesn’t get any better than this folks!
BTW, there is a fee for daytrippers to Cayo Costa, San Pedro and probably others that I have not been to yet (finally got a small boat here. and the winter has been too cold for the crew, so have not been
around much). An honor box asks for $2 per person, which is double what it was last year.
What gems. At Cayo Costa there may only be a few dozen folks in 2500 acres with miles of unbuilt beach. San Pedro similar, only room for 10 boats and the slips are always full, but that still means only a
few dozen visitors.
