Island Hopping

On the west coast of Florida, we are fortunate to have a collection of incredibly stunning islands. Here are a few that we love to visit:

– Shell Key holds a special place among Captain Vinnie’s top choices. It covers an impressive 195 acres; it stands as one of St. Pete/Clearwater’s largest untouched barrier islands. This coastal gem is renowned for its abundant collection of stunning shells and sand dollars. With our exclusive private boat tour, we transport you to an area that remains hidden from the masses, allowing for a unique experience. Snorkeling adds another layer of excitement, as you observe fish and uncover larger shells during your exploration.

– Egmont Key is a sizable island, spanning nearly 250 acres. It holds historical significance as a former site of The Spanish American War. As a testament to its rich past, remnants of gun batteries, a lighthouse, and artifacts from the war still grace the island, making it a true local treasure that comes highly recommended. The island teems with abundant wildlife, including a thriving population of gopher tortoises and box turtles, numbering over 2,000 in the latest census. Some people call it turtle island. At the southern tip of Egmont Key lie two sunken batteries, creating ideal snorkeling spots that we thoroughly enjoy during our tours. Egmont key is 2 miles north from Passage Key and 3 miles north of Anna Maria Island (AMI). We have found most of our sharks teeth on this key.

– Outback Key, the latest addition to the region, emerged as a result of powerful hurricane winds that generated sizable waves. These waves carried sand from a neighboring sandbar, leading to the formation of this island. With each passing year, the island continues to expand, showcasing its breathtaking scenery. Although some refer to it as Sand Dollar Island, it officially became known as Outback Key two years ago. This key is situated in close proximity to Fort De Soto Park, adding to its appeal.
