Caladesi Island State Park- CLOSED

Effective June 1, 2025: To help ensure the safety of visitors and staff, the park and any associated overnight accommodations remain closed due to Hurricane Helene and/or Hurricane Milton. The Florida State Parks reservation team will email guests with affected reservations to make alternate arrangements or issue refunds. The park and its overnight accommodations will reopen as soon as conditions allow.

One of the few untouched islands along the Gulf Coast, Caladesi Island State Park is accessible only by boat.

Whether it is a stroll along the island’s pristine beaches or a kayak trip through the bayside mangrove forest, a trip to Caladesi Island is an unforgettable experience.

Take a nature trail walk to the historic Scharrer Homestead through the island’s interior and listen to the ocean breeze whisper through old-growth slash pines and feel the embrace of expansive live oaks.
