Honeymoon Island.
This island is accessible by car. At Honeymoon Island State Park, activities include swimming, sunbathing, fishing, picnic shelters, and people watching. There is a special area where you can bring your pets to play in the sand and the water. There are several observation areas for those who are interested in birding. In the tall pine trees on the island you can see the osprey nests, and the baby ospreys exercising their wings in the spring. This island has many interesting aspects: 1) over 200 species of plants and birds 2) long ago an Indian tribe called it home 3) there was once a hog farm on the island and 4) it got its current name from the honeymoon cottages that were built on it just before WWII.
