Check EventsIt depends on the UV index and your skin. Our conditions page converts today's hourly UV forecast at Honeymoon & Caladesi into minutes to burn using the standard erythemal dose model, so instead of "UV 9" you get "unprotected fair skin burns in about 18 minutes", along with the strongest stretch of the day and when to reapply. Open sand and water reflect UV back at you, so the estimate includes a beach uplift.
Check Today's Burn TimeIt depends where on the beach. Honeymoon Island and Caladesi Island are two separate state parks with different dog rules. Honeymoon allows leashed dogs only on a designated pet beach on the island's south end. Caladesi bans dogs from its beach entirely and does not allow them on the ferry over. Confirm which island you are on before bringing a dog.
