Editor's take
Exceptional beach setting with soft/clean sand, clear water, strong visitor ratings (4.8/5 over 4,614 reviews), and standout wildlife make it a top Tampa Bay Gulf destination.
What visitors say
Visitors repeatedly praise the soft, clean sand and clear turquoise water, with frequent wildlife sightings; complaints center on occasional crowd/noise and unsafe jet-ski behavior.
Fort De Soto Park’s North Beach is a standout white-sand Gulf beach inside a large Pinellas County nature preserve across five island “keys.” Expect soft, clean sand, clear turquoise water, wildlife like birds/dolphins, plus plentiful facilities and multiple swimming/launch areas.
