This beautiful 2,810-acre park, located on the northernmost barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico, is just a short drive across the Dunedin Causeway linking the island to the crowded mainland. Honeymoon Island boasts about four miles of sandy beach where you can soak up the sun.

Sand dunes with natural vegetation are the backdrop for this stretch of Gulf beach, with access via wooden walkways that span the protected dunes. Except for a small stretch along the south end of the island, the sand along the Gulf shoreline is not very wide, even eroding to almost nothing in places. Shelling is the best on the north end of the beach.
