Skip the crowded public beaches and book the 4-hour ferry from St. Pete Pier to reach this island. You walk through overgrown concrete bunkers and search for gopher tortoises roaming the trails. The snorkeling near the submerged Fort Dade ruins is solid, just watch out for currents. Bring your own water and snacks because the island has zero amenities. Don’t pay for the fancy private charters; the basic ferry gets you the exact same sand.
