Welcome to Don Pedro Island State Park

Welcome to the enchanting Don Pedro Island State Park, a magnificent gem nestled within the barrier islands of Florida’s stunning Gulf Coast. Situated between Knight Island and Little Gasparilla Island, the secluded shores of Don Pedro Island can only be reached by private boat. Wanderers can dock amidst the tranquil mangroves lining the bay side of the island, following a peaceful channel south of the Cape Haze power line crossing. With a pristine 1-mile expanse of soft white sand, the beach beckons for leisurely sunbathing, refreshing dips in the shimmering waters, immersive snorkeling adventures, and delightful beachcombing excursions. For those seeking a different perspective, paddling services offer unique explorations of the surrounding waters. Embrace the idyllic surroundings with a delightful picnic beneath the expansive pavilion or embark on a journey along the picturesque hiking trails. Over on the mainland base of the park on the Cape Haze Peninsula, outdoor enthusiasts will find a haven awaiting with hiking trails, a versatile kayak launch, a serene fishing dock, scenic nature trails, and a cozy picnic shelter all spread across the 100-acre sanctuary. Come, discover the wonders of Don Pedro Island State Park where nature’s beauty flourishes and adventures await at every turn.
