Secluded Islands
The Florida peninsula is ringed with barrier islands and mangrove-fringed keys. Many are
accessible by causeways and bridges, but to really leave the crowds behind, go by boat.
That's the only way to get to these beauties.
Cayo Costa Island Undeveloped and majestic; for real solitude, book a cabin or campsite
and spend the night.
Caladesi Island A 20-minute ferry ride to three miles of sugary, seashell-strewn goodness.
St Vincent Island Just off the Panhandle coastline, with great hikes, wildlife and beaches.
Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuge Cedar Key is like a frontier town, with kayaking among
dozens of tiny wildernesses.
Dry Tortugas Far off Key West in the middle of the sea: camp, stargaze, snorkel coral reefs,
and barter beers with fishermen for lobster.
