Caladesi Island

Yesterday IV and I took the ferry over to Caladesi Island. Above pic is the beach. Dolphins frolicking right at the water's edge. I can see why Dr. Beach has named this one of the Best beaches in the country:


1. Fort DeSoto Park - North Beach, St Petersburg, Florida - National Winner
2. Ocracoke Island, Outer Banks, North Carolina
3. Hanalei Bay, Kauai, Hawaii
4. Caladesi Island State Park, Clearwater, Florida
5. Fleming Beach, Maui, Hawaii
6. Coast Guard Beach, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
7. Coronado Beach, San Diego, California
8. Cape Florida State Park, Key Biscayne, Florida
9. Main Beach, East Hampton, New York
10. Hamoa Beach, Maui, Hawaii

On the way back there were hundreds of shore birds wading on the flats at low tide including a roseate spoonbill. My most favorite shore bird.


Sorry no manatee or kayaking story today.
