Honeymoon Island State Park, beaches in Dunedin

Connected to Dunedin by the Curlew Causeway, Honeymoon Island is Florida's most-visited state park for good reason: natural beaches, great shelling, and the 2.5-mile Osprey Trail through one of the last virgin slash pine stands on the coast. Entry is $8 per vehicle (open 8am to sundown, 365 days), and leashed dogs get their own beach at the island's southern tip.

Why our team sends guests here

Walk the Osprey Trail in the morning to spot nesting owls and ospreys, then cool off at the pet beach with your pup before the afternoon crowds arrive.
