984.8(1.9k)
Editor's take
Exceptional rating (4.8) with 1,877 reviews plus strong recurring praise for clear water, quiet vibes, and shelling make it a standout Gulf-island beach.
What visitors say
Visitors repeatedly rave about the clear, warm water and shelling, calling the island quiet and great for a family picnic—access is mainly by boat or ferry.
Anclote Key Beach sits inside Anclote Key Preserve State Park on a barrier island about three miles offshore from Tarpon Springs. Expect white-sand shoreline for swimming/sunbathing, shelling, picnicking with grills/pavilions, and primitive camping—plus wildlife viewing/birding (eagles/ospreys; sea turtles in park materials).
