Don Pedro Island State Park, Barrier island state park in Florida Gulf Coast, US
Don Pedro Island State Park extends along Florida's Gulf Coast with white sandy beaches, mangrove forests, and extensive waterways spanning 230 acres.
The state of Florida acquired Don Pedro Island in 1985 for 6 million dollars through the Save Our Coasts program to protect its natural resources.
The indigenous Calusa people inhabited the Charlotte Harbor region for generations, gathering shellfish and establishing communities along these coastal waters.
Visitors require private boats to reach the island, with access to 12 dock slips on the bay side through a shallow channel measuring 2.5 feet deep.
Sea turtles select the protected shores of Don Pedro Island each May to construct their nests, contributing to species preservation efforts.
