Dock wisdom

Egmont Key ferry is seasonal and can sell out — book ahead at the park concession or online.

The in-park kayak rental at North Beach is the easiest boat access; bring your own for the early-morning paddle.

Bunces Pass between Fort De Soto and Egmont Key is an excellent inshore fishing corridor.

No jet skis or motorized personal watercraft inside the park — it's a protected bay area.
