About Cayo Costa

One of Florida's largest undeveloped barrier islands, this boat-access-only park offers nine miles of pristine Gulf beaches renowned for exceptional shelling. The 2,500-acre island preserves tropical vegetation, pine forests, and mangrove swamps that have changed little since the first Europeans arrived 500 years ago.
