Unspoiled beach, playing host to a large array of wildlife...come and dolphin watch!
Fort Island Beach
A small beach with soft white sand. Unlike your pristine hotel lined beaches, this unspoiled beach is surrounded by wetlands which play host to a variety of inhabitants. Within a short walk is a small pier as well as a boat launch. Parking is free for the beach, pier and boat launch. There is sometimes a food truck on the premises, but be sure to pack food just in case, and most definitely bring water. There are well kept up to date men and woman restrooms as well as an open outdoor shower area. Sorry, No Pets Allowed. Directions: From state highway 19 in Crystal River turn west on to Ft. Island Parkway. Continue for about 10 miles, this scenic route ends at the beach.
