About Caladesi Island State Park

The island itself is the draw here, a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico reachable only by boat, separated from the mainland by St. Joseph Sound. It sits north of Clearwater Beach, giving visitors Gulf-side beach frontage without a bridge or causeway connecting it to shore. The setting protects a stretch of undeveloped coastal land on the water rather than inland terrain.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
