Want to spend a day at the beach without fighting the crowds? Then make Sand Key Park your destination for the day. These relatively quiet beach surroundings are as beautiful as they are relaxing. Beachcombers, surfers, and sun worshipers all enjoy the natural amenities of Sand Key, but the man-made amenities like picnic tables, restrooms and lifeguard stations are quite nice, as well.

Nature often offers us several unforgettable scenarios that we tend to miss. But Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island are are both off the coast from the city of Dunedin, Florida and offer a superb getaway for relaxing on the beach. And, you can even take a bigger plunge on its shores as the area is quite popular for weddings on its beaches. The nearby Honeymoon Pavilion offers an excellent menu for your post-ceremony reception. See why so many couples have exchanged their vows here and all agree that life is a beach!

The injuries sustained by various birds in the area are seen as just temporary by the caring professionals at the Suncoast Bird Sanctuary. This prominent avian hospital rehabilitates thousands of feathered creatures who need a little extra care. Creatures from birds to raptors are treated and then released, but several of the injured specimens make their permanent home here. The sanctuary has gotten lots of attention for breeding Eastern brown pelicans in captivity. As many as 500 "patients" can occupy the facility at one time. When you visit this attraction, you can see an impressive variety of winged creatures that include herons, egrets, cormorants, seagulls and more.
