Lovers Key State Park
Florida · United States
We will stop and anchor at Lover's Key State Park along Big Carlos Pass in the middle of this half day tour. You can go for a walk along the undisturbed beautiful beaches, swim in the water, or just relax on the boat and enjoy the atmosphere as you watch boats come through the pass. This is a popular place for boaters to anchor along the pass but if you decide to explore you can find quiet sections along the beach that are much more private than some other local beaches.
