Stump Pass Beach State Park

Stump Pass Beach State Park extends one mile along Florida's Gulf Coast, featuring untouched white sand beaches and clear waters perfect for swimming and shelling.

The park became state property in 1971 with just four parking spaces, then expanded in 2000 to include forty parking spots and modern facilities.

The protected ecosystem serves as a natural sanctuary for West Indian manatees, gopher tortoises, snowy egrets, least terns, and magnificent frigatebirds throughout the year.

Entrance fees cost three dollars per vehicle, with the park operating from 8 AM until sunset and offering fresh water showers near six covered picnic tables.

Winter months bring abundant seashells and shark teeth washing up on the shore, providing exceptional opportunities for collectors to discover marine treasures.
