Description

This island located at the mouth of Tampa Bay is a refuge in more than one sense of the word. As a refuge for wildlife, it is home to gopher tortoises and myriad seabirds. As a refuge for visitors, Egmont Key State Park is a secluded beach where shelling and exploring a 19th-century fort await (check out the lighthouse, circa 1858, as well). Egmont Key is accessible only by private boat or ferry.
