To get to Caladesi Island State Park from nearby Dunedin, drive north on US 19A to SR 589 (Causeway Blvd); turn left and follow the causeway 2.8 miles to the Honeymoon Island State Park entrance. After you pay your entrance fee, continue along the park road to the first left and park. Take the ferryboat from here. Reservations recommended; call 727-734-1501. The ferry costs $9 per adult, $5.50 ages 4-12, in addition to your park entrance fee. If you take the ferry, plan adequate time to both hike the trail and enjoy the beach before the last ferry leaves for the day.

Alternately, you can walk to the park, 4 miles north along Clearwater Beach, entering the trail system from the Beach Trail. Or, rent a kayak along the causeway and paddle to the docks at Caladesi Island. Or, approach via your own boat: from channel marker #14, just west of the Dunedin Causeway Bridge, take an approximate 212´degree heading on your compass for approximately 1 mile and follow the channel markers into the marina.
