a wonderful place to spend the day!
For years, Lover’s Key was accessible only by boat and it was said that only lovers traveled to the island to enjoy its remote and solitary beach.
Today, it is one of four barrier islands that make up this State Park.
A haven for wildlife, the islands and their waters are home to West Indian manatees, Bottlenose dolphins, roseate spoonbills, marsh rabbits, and bald eagles.
Lover’s Key has a two mile long beach, accessible by boardwalk or tram.
It is popular for shelling, swimming, picnicking, and sunbathing.
Black Island on Lover’s Key has over five miles of multi-use trails for hiking and bicycling.
Anglers and boaters can launch their vessels from the park’s boat ramp.
The park’s concession offers boat and fishing tours, as well as bicycle, canoe and kayak rentals.
If you’re into the “romance” thing, and want Lover’s Key to live up to it’s name, we suggest a picnic on the island.
