Editor's take
A rare combo of top-tier ratings (4.8/5) with huge review volume (4,611) plus recurring praise for cleanliness, clear water, and wildlife makes it a Baywire standout.
What visitors say
Most visitors rave about soft, clean sand and clear turquoise water with lots of wildlife, but a few note noise/jet skis affecting the peaceful feel and safety.
Fort De Soto is Pinellas’ standout Gulf beach—soft, clean sand and crystal-clear water across five islands. Expect wildlife spotting, kayaking/fishing, and strong visitor approval.
