Honeymoon Island

Picture
Picture
Once upon a time, Honeymoon Island was known as Hog Island and was owned by a pig farmer. Then a hurricane flooded the land and cut the channel known as Hurricane Pass. The former southern half of the island was renamed Caladesi and the former northern half was developed as a getaway for newlyweds. Honeymoon Island was born. It later became a state park. It is accessed by causeway.

The north of Honeymoon Island is split, forming Pelican Cove between the east and west arms. The eastern arm is home to ospreys, vultures, and bald eagles, though some of the trails are closed during the nesting season (October-May).

The western arm is where most of the fun is. Like Caladesi Island, Honeymoon Island is known for the shells that wash up. It’s a known destination for collectors. However, be prepared for wet feet as it appears this area is mostly submerged at high tide.
