We are located at Loggerhead Marina in St. Petersburg. It provides us with another beautiful location near Egmont key, Fort Desoto and the Skyway bridge. You won’t be far from beautiful beaches, snorkeling adventures and some great fishing. Rumor has it that there is a 90′ hole on the northeast side of Egmont Cay where trophies have been caught.
Egmont Key is primarily a wildlife refuge, but it can be a personal refuge – a place to relax and collect shells along secluded, pristine beaches. Accessible only by private boat, Egmont Key has a unique natural and cultural history, including a lighthouse that has stood since 1858. During the 19th century, the island served as a camp for captured Seminoles at the end of the Third Seminole War and was later occupied by the Union Navy during the Civil War. In 1898, as the Spanish-American War threatened, Fort Dade was built on the island and remained active until 1923. After touring the historic sites and trails, visitors can enjoy swimming, fishing, wildlife viewing, and picnicking. Located at the mouth of Tampa Bay, southwest of Fort DeSoto Beach.
Fort De Soto is located in the southwest corner of Mullet Key, at the entrance to Tampa Bay. The entire island is now Fort De Soto Park, a Pinellas county park which offers fine beaches, fishing, nature trails, camping, boating, and much more.
