Take the family out on an island adventure when you venture out to Caladesi Island State Park. This is one of the few remaining completely natural islands off Florida's Gulf Coast. The whole family can enjoy swimming, sunbathing and fishing at this outdoor attraction. Fish from the surf or from your boat. There is a three mile trail through the island's interior on which the kids can marvel at some of the area's wildlife. There are picnic areas, a marina, as well as a snack bar and gift shop. The park is accessible by either boat or ferry.

Located a block from the beach, this is an extension of Bobby Heilman's main restaurant and offers delicious a la carte dining in four separate dining rooms. The wine bar is the obvious highlight, as its extensive inventory includes more than 20,000 bottles. The menu is equally impressive, featuring such delicious fare as sherry garlic shrimp, a half-rack of JamAsian baby back ribs and gourmet pizzas.
