Rent a canoe, kayak, or bike to explore the park's trails. Fish from a pier, visit the historic fort, or just lounge at the beach.

Over 1,100 acres of nature, history, and beach. There is a historic fort and ferries to Shell Island and Egmont Key. This is the type of park to get away from it all. No hotels, restaurants, or beach bars. Only snack bars and plenty of parking.

Ft. DeSoto Beach, located off of St. Petersburg's southern tip, has been named the number one beach in the United States. Named after the historic fort located on the 900-acre county park, visitors can tour the five interconnected islands that comprise the park.
