Caladesi Island Ferry Service
974.7(952)
Editor's take
A 4.7/5 rating from 952 reviews plus consistent praise for a smooth ride, staff, and standout shelling makes this a top Tampa Bay beach destination gateway.
What visitors say
Most visitors rave about the smooth boat ride, friendly captains, and the island’s soft sand and shelling value; the main limitations mentioned are timing (max 4 hours) and crowds/stroller ease.
Family-run ferry to Caladesi Island State Park—smooth ~20-min ride to soft white sand, easy shelling, and wildlife. Year-round service with frequent departures.
