Stump Pass Beach State Park, State park in Charlotte County, United States.
Description
Stump Pass Beach State Park sits along Florida's Gulf Coast with a sandy beach and clear water suitable for swimming and shelling. The site includes picnic tables, fresh water showers, and parking areas for day visitors.
History
The site became a state park in 1971 with minimal facilities and parking. Major improvements came in 2000 when additional parking and modern amenities were added.
Culture
The protected area serves as a habitat where West Indian manatees, gopher tortoises, snowy egrets, and frigatebirds live throughout the year. Visitors can observe these animals in their natural setting, especially in the quieter spots along the shoreline.
Practical
The park is easy to explore on foot with paths leading to the beach and picnic areas. Wear shoes since sand covers most surfaces and shells are scattered throughout.
Did you know?
Winter brings an abundance of shells and shark teeth washing onto the beach, making it exceptional for collectors. This seasonal influx of marine objects creates an ideal time for those seeking these finds.
