About Honeymoon Island State Park
A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER
Pete Krulder
Honeymoon Island State Park is proud to be home to the first incubating eagles in PInellas County. On October 1st, the staff staked in a 330ft. perimeter fence surrounding the nest, protecting the eagles from any disturbance. It is a federal offense to cross the boundary so please view the eagles from the lookout station.
Honeymoon Island is the perfect place to go when looking for outdoor recreational entertainment! The South Beach Pavilion provides bicycles to rent by the hour or day and kayaks are available at Café Honeymoon. Both facilities offer beach chair and umbrella rentals for nominal fees and their decks are known for having great views of the gulf. Of course, there’s always plenty of space for just soaking up the sun on the beach! Heading out to the nature trails will give you ample opportunities to run into the inhabitants of the island. While Osprey are the norm, keep an eye out for the gopher tortoise crossing your path, the armadillo foraging for food, or the raccoon scurrying off into the woods. Please remember the essentials when exploring the outdoors – sun protection, hydration, and bug spray!
