Two miles west of Dunedin, Honeymoon Island has more than four miles of beach and a three-mile trail through one of the last virgin slash pine forests in Florida, where you may see eagles, ospreys and great horned owls. The Rotary Centennial Nature Center tells the island’s story, and the ferry to Caladesi Island leaves from here. Keep out of the water at the northern cut, where currents are strong.
