It’s hard to imagine any of Florida’s beaches being secluded anymore, especially during this time of year. However, we have one pristine beach with miles and miles of white sand that is not accessible by any other transportation except for boat or private ferry. Which means that the less traffic in and out, the more natural and beautiful it stays. Take a look…

Don Pedro Island State Park is a little more than an hour south of Sarasota, Florida.

The Island is a quiet stretch of 7-miles along the Gulf of Mexico with pristine white beaches galore.

Don Pedro Island State Park is only accessible by private boat or public ferry, so the foot traffic to this island is always quite intentional.

Some even choose to hitch up via kayak and make their way over to the island.

Despite being a sleepy stretch of beach in Florida, there are still tons of things to do on this island.

You can go swimming in the crystal clear water, snorkeling, shelling, surf fishing, and so much more.

The 230-acre park allows hikers and nature enthusiasts to explore the various trails and mangrove swamps along the Cape Haze Peninsula.

While it may be a more secluded beach when compared to others within the state, don’t be surprised when you see a few chairs dotting the sand.

Families enjoy this beach because of the ease of watching children in the water and having more space to enjoy.
