Cayo Costa State Park protects a barrier island off the coast of Bokeelia, Florida. The park is located on Cayo Costa Island and is reachable only by private boat, the park ferry, or by kayak. Visitors come for nine miles of undeveloped Gulf Coast beaches, swimming, snorkeling, shelling, and wildlife viewing, including dolphins, manatees, seabirds, and nesting sea turtles. The park provides primitive camping sites, picnic areas, shaded nature trails, and short boardwalks that connect visitor areas.
Cayo Costa State Park offers on-island rentals and services including beach chair and umbrella rentals and bicycle rentals for men, women, and children, enabling self-guided exploration of sandy trails and coastal hammocks. The Florida Park Service manages operations and maintains resources through conservation, habitat protection, and visitor education programs. The island’s limited access and lack of commercial development keep beaches largely natural and quiet, attracting families, photographers, and wildlife enthusiasts seeking a low-impact coastal experience. Safety information, park rules, and logistics are posted by park staff and on the official Florida State Parks website; visitors should plan transportation, water, and supplies in advance since services are limited on the island. Boat access and private ferries depart from nearby mainland marinas; visitors should check schedules, permits and reservations. Visitor maps, safety guidelines and permit information are provided by the Florida Park Service to plan trips responsibly.
