About Honeymoon Island State Park
Honeymoon Island State Park is a 2,824.52-acre (1,143.04 ha) Florida state park protecting most of Honeymoon Island, a barrier island on Florida's Gulf coast in Pinellas County, west of Dunedin. The park protects approximately 4.25 miles (6.84 km) of shoreline along the Gulf of Mexico together with extensive seagrass beds, mangrove swamps, slash pine flatwoods, and coastal dunes and grasslands. The state began buying the land in 1974, and the park opened in December 1981. The island is south of the Anclote Keys and north of Caladesi Island, being separated by a hurricane in 1921.
