Peaceful, relaxing day walking the island. We have been to many Forts around the country, This one would rate a 7. Not much of the town left, a few concrete buildings and foundations. The old brick roads are in great shape for their age. Wish we could build roads like that now. The beaches are very nice. A lot of small shells, shark teeth on the beach. Came across 3 tortoise There were only 40 people on the ferry so once you get to the Island, it is not crowded. We probably walked for an hour before we saw anyone else. No bugs to speak of in January, But wear sun block. Great ride on the ferry, will do a separate review.

Absolutely gorgeous island. We rented a boat and stayed for several hours out here. Swim out to shallow Sandune‘s. Explored the ruins on the island. Not many shelves where we were… But a manatee came right up to our boat! Magical experience!

Visited Egmont while on a private boat tour (highly recommend 'Island time boat tours' with Matt and Beth!)
We got dropped at the shore and spent an hour wandering round the island.
We visited the lighthouse and the fort ruins
But what I really wanted to see was the gopher tortoise, and we were not disappointed.
Saw a few tortoises around. One was on a path we wanted to walk on. Decided to go a different way so we didn't disturb the tortoise at which point it ran towards us, went past, crossed the path behind us then started eating. Luckily I filmed the whole thing!
Then walking down a path we heard a rustling noise. We hear this all the time and it's always just a lizard. But on this occasion it was a tiny baby gopher tortoise! Not even 10cm long and was moving along right by the path. Stood for ages taking photos/videos and it was the highlight of our day!
Definitely recommend a visit here.

At certain times of the year this place can feel like you are the only ones there. The beach is sugar sand and the historic Fort Dade is a delightful walking tour. The gopher tortoises are everywhere. A little hidden gem if you hit it in the off season. The ferry over was well narrated and the crew were good hosts. Would love to go back again!

The captain and his team were very, very kind. But it was disappointing to have to drift around in the boat, right near the Key to try and find manatee’s. And then have to get back to the boat by 2:15, to drift around the water for 45 minutes, looking for manatees again, before we got back to the drop off point. I think we personally would have liked to stay on the beach longer and skip the drifting since we took the ferry to spend time on Ergmont Key.

We were looking for a getaway from just swimming in the ocean while on Anna Maria island and found this little boat adventure that took us to the island with this state park on it. Checking out the fort's and the lighthouse was pretty cool and the little trails throughout the island. Water was very good to swim in as well. Captain Orca was our boat captain and he got us there and back with no issues.

There's a lot to see in Egmont key - birds, tortoises, fort ruins and the lighthouse. The only negative was battling the mosquito swarms as you tour the ruins of the fort so come prepared with bug repellant. There's nowhere to escape the heat of the sun, you have to bring your own beach umbrella & plenty of sunblock. We wanted to see the historical buildings so we opted not to carry a cumbersome umbrella. Fort Dade is in disrepair due to age and exposure to the elements so there are no safety features such as handrails when climbing stairs. The remnants of the town are just foundations. The beach and sand dunes are pristine.

This was our first time riding the ferry to Fort Dade, and it was amazing! The captains, Art and Zip, were so welcoming. The island itself is gorgeous, but half the fun is the ferry ride. Can’t wait to do it again.

My wife and I took the Hubbard Marina Ferry hosted by Captain Art and his second hand, Zip. Both were incredible hosts and took excellent care of us as well as were informative guides with lots of knowledge.
Egmont Key Island is certainly a very remote place with no services so make sure you pack food, proper attire and protection for being in the sun since there is little to no shade. Your only means of cooling off is to go into the water. The island is pretty much a bird sanctuary with many species to view.
We enjoyed walking along the beach and viewing the many birds, having a picnic lunch, swimming and exploring the ruins on the island.
The highlight of our trip was to see a couple of manatees swimming near our boat. Captain Art took special care and gave us the thrill of approaching cautiously approaching the manatees for picture opportunities. Highly recommend this trip, especially on a sunny day when it is not painfully hot :-)
KUDOS TO CAPTAIN ART AND ZIP!! Thank you-

Correction public restroom at the State Park area but once you ride the ferry over to the island, there isn’t any bathroom facilities.

Where do you catch the ferry?..what times do they run??..what's the cost??..and is there shade once you get there?

Hi luckepeny. Call the Park Service 727-893-2627 and they will give you all the details. You can also google Florida State Park Service/Egmont Key and that will take you to their site where you can communicate via email. When I went, the ferry ride was $20 @ person round trip. I gave the Cappy a $5 tip after the return. The boat was docked on the sand next to the pier with a ticket booth right there. When you enter Ft. Desoto Park the main road comes to a T-intersection. Turn right and the pier, ticket booth and pier will be on your left. You can trust the park service. Others, not so much. Hope you enjoy this experience. Bob

can you snorkel on your own once you get to Egmont Key, meaning not go through a snorkel tour company.

I believe that you can as you are free to use the beaches around the island.

Can you recommend another beach that might be good for snorkeling?
Robert H
Clearwater, FL541 contributi
Probably the best place to snorkel around Clearwater is in the Clearwater Pass between Sand Key Park and Clearwater Beach. Park at Sand Key Park and walk to the north end of the parking lot, carefully walk over the rocks and enter the waterway. The structure there attracts lots of sea life but stay close to the rocks to avoid boats operating in the pass. Except for ship wrecks, there's not much to see in the Gulf except around structure.

Where do we dock/anchor if coming by private boat?

Anchor on the northeastern side of the island near the lighthouse.

is it possible to kayak to egmont key from fort Desoto? We are in reasonable shape and do a lot of
kayaking. I just don't know how strong the currents are.
Robert H
Clearwater, FL541 contributi
Yeah, you can do that but it's best to be aware of low/high tides that generate strong currents. If you get caught in one, don't fight it, just navigate in a diagonal line to your target.
Can I cook with a propane burner on Egmont?
Jeff S
Havre de Grace, MD215 contributi
I don't know if they are allowed on the island. I have never seen anyone use any kind of cooking equipment. Not even on the boats than anchor just off the beach. With past issues they have with fires and it being a nesting sanctuary, I would assume you cannot bring cooking equipment.
