Description
Honeymoon Island is a State Park near Dunedin, Florida. A natural barrier island, this state park boasts four miles of sandy beaches, nature trails, and abundant wildlife. Gopher tortoise will likely cross your path. I also once saw a very large rattlesnake cross the path. The Pinellas Trail has a spur that runs the length of the Dunedin Causeway right to the park entrance. Honeymoon Island got its name from a Life Magazine contest for newlyweds in 1939; couples won a two-week honeymoon stay on the island. Photos of these love birds can be viewed at The Rotary Club Centennial Nature Center. In 2007 Honeymoon Island was Florida's most visited state park. With water levels erosion is a problem, thus sea oats have been established on the dunes, replacing mangroves that have died
