Last Updated on April 15, 2024 If you’re looking for a slice of paradise while visiting Clearwater Beach, consider an excursion to Caladesi Island State Park.

Plus, getting there brings new nuance to the phrase “the journey is the destination.” Four miles of powdery sand, salt marshes, a pine tree forest, and plenty of wildlife promise a natural getaway. Swim, surf, hunt for shells, birdwatch, and relax in this Florida oasis.     Caladesi Island Marina | Photo Credit – Wikimedia How To Get To Caladesi Island ..read more
