Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Great excursion! Very interesting place to visit while in Florida. Captain Zippy and crew were timely and accommodating with plenty of filtered water, chairs, floaties and snacks to make your beach experience comfortable. We saw 4 of the over 1,000 tortoises on the island and we found the remains of Fort Dade and the museum very interesting.

Een onbewoond eilandje, vroeger was er wel een nederzetting, met witte stranden aan de Mexicaanse Golf. De bedoeling was ook om te gaan snorkelen, maar het was te winderig en het zicht was te slecht. Dan maar de 3 uren volmaken met rondwandelen en af en toe een zitpauze nemen. Er is geen bar of standbar, dus alles zelf meenemen. En genoeg drinken heb je wel nodig. Het was er zeer warm. Je kan enkele ruïnes van de nederzetting bekijken. Mooie kleur water, mooie rustige stranden, veel zeevogels. En we zagen een Manatee (Zeekoe). En ook dolfijnen op de terugvaart van het eiland. Het was toch de moeite en een bezoek waard.

It is a very beautiful little Island that you could probably walk around in a couple of hours. There are some naval gun battery fortifications to visit, but these are a little rundown and might not be easily accessible for older people. Very nice beaches, but I recommend visiting in the winter months when the water is calmer, and there are fewer mosquitoes. There is a lighthouse that you can take some photographs of and there is also the remains of a town that was burnt to the ground though only one building has been rebuilt and the town is basically streets and building foundations. These are all overgrown and the only creatures living there are turtles Birds and a lot of mosquitoes. A great place to snorkel in the winter, but not the summer. I would also say that snorkeling there might be a challenge as there are dozens and dozens of boats anchored off the island and it might actually be tough to find a place to snorkel. We went on a Friday so I imagine the situation is even worse on a Saturday and Sunday. However, the ferry over from Fort De Soto state park is enjoyable, and we did get to see at least a dozen dolphins. The ferry is not free. It’s run by a company called Hubbards and cost roughly $45 per person. It’s actually cheaper to buy it at the park itself then online because online you get charged service fees. Overall nice place to visit, but not secluded and there are an awful lot of boats.

Did not see what all the hype was about this Island ..I think Anna Marie would be more enjoyable.. I thought it was an awfully dangerous place to be snorkeling when boats just come flying through there or stop and chum to fish where people are snorkling..the pics in advertisment are so misleading but hey to each there own..

Perfect family day. We got to fish, explore, skim board, nice beach. When the kids want to see more, go hike the battery, check out tortoises and racer snakes. Only negative is do not bring dogs, they aren't allowed on island. We left our puppy at home, but did see ranger enforcing rules on others. Also, no drinking beer on island and they do check.

There are NO toilet facilities for your 3 hours on the island, although there are on the boat which leaves as soon as you depart.
It’s a very pleasant boat ride of about 3 miles to Egmont Key. If you hurry, you can visit the two main batteries, walk the entire red brick road and stroll back along the beach. There are many small placards (some in not so great condition) with interesting Egmont history to read along the way, but keep track of time lest you miss the ferry!
Once off the beach, most of the walkways are wide, paved or brick roads. But, for a little more off the beaten track adventure, stroll down the dirt path at the first battery and see some cool ruins that have been engulfed by the “jungle” including the mine storage facility.
We’ve taken the Hubbards Ferry four twice this year and twice last year. It is GREAT, and lands you on the DRY beach; no wading with Hubbards!

Peaceful, relaxing day walking the island. We have been to many Forts around the country, This one would rate a 7. Not much of the town left, a few concrete buildings and foundations. The old brick roads are in great shape for their age. Wish we could build roads like that now. The beaches are very nice. A lot of small shells, shark teeth on the beach. Came across 3 tortoise There were only 40 people on the ferry so once you get to the Island, it is not crowded. We probably walked for an hour before we saw anyone else. No bugs to speak of in January, But wear sun block. Great ride on the ferry, will do a separate review.

Absolutely gorgeous island. We rented a boat and stayed for several hours out here. Swim out to shallow Sandune‘s. Explored the ruins on the island. Not many shelves where we were… But a manatee came right up to our boat! Magical experience!

Visited Egmont while on a private boat tour (highly recommend 'Island time boat tours' with Matt and Beth!)
We got dropped at the shore and spent an hour wandering round the island.
We visited the lighthouse and the fort ruins
But what I really wanted to see was the gopher tortoise, and we were not disappointed.
Saw a few tortoises around. One was on a path we wanted to walk on. Decided to go a different way so we didn't disturb the tortoise at which point it ran towards us, went past, crossed the path behind us then started eating. Luckily I filmed the whole thing!
Then walking down a path we heard a rustling noise. We hear this all the time and it's always just a lizard. But on this occasion it was a tiny baby gopher tortoise! Not even 10cm long and was moving along right by the path. Stood for ages taking photos/videos and it was the highlight of our day!
Definitely recommend a visit here.

At certain times of the year this place can feel like you are the only ones there. The beach is sugar sand and the historic Fort Dade is a delightful walking tour. The gopher tortoises are everywhere. A little hidden gem if you hit it in the off season. The ferry over was well narrated and the crew were good hosts. Would love to go back again!

Has Anyone been to the island in the last couple days? Is Red Tide over running the beaches?

Can you tell me if there are any restrooms/port-a-pottie facilities on Egmont?
Skrevet 21. oktober 2019
Correction public restroom at the State Park area but once you ride the ferry over to the island, there isn’t any bathroom facilities.

Where do you catch the ferry?..what times do they run??..what's the cost??..and is there shade once you get there?

Hi luckepeny. Call the Park Service 727-893-2627 and they will give you all the details. You can also google Florida State Park Service/Egmont Key and that will take you to their site where you can communicate via email. When I went, the ferry ride was $20 @ person round trip. I gave the Cappy a $5 tip after the return. The boat was docked on the sand next to the pier with a ticket booth right there. When you enter Ft. Desoto Park the main road comes to a T-intersection. Turn right and the pier, ticket booth and pier will be on your left. You can trust the park service. Others, not so much. Hope you enjoy this experience. Bob

can you snorkel on your own once you get to Egmont Key, meaning not go through a snorkel tour company.
Skrevet 6. juni 2018
I believe that you can as you are free to use the beaches around the island.
Skrevet 7. juni 2018
Can you recommend another beach that might be good for snorkeling?
Skrevet 24. februar 2018
Probably the best place to snorkel around Clearwater is in the Clearwater Pass between Sand Key Park and Clearwater Beach. Park at Sand Key Park and walk to the north end of the parking lot, carefully walk over the rocks and enter the waterway. The structure there attracts lots of sea life but stay close to the rocks to avoid boats operating in the pass. Except for ship wrecks, there's not much to see in the Gulf except around structure.
Skrevet 11. juli 2018
Anchor on the northeastern side of the island near the lighthouse.
Skrevet 11. juli 2018
is it possible to kayak to egmont key from fort Desoto? We are in reasonable shape and do a lot of
kayaking. I just don't know how strong the currents are.
Skrevet 4. februar 2018
Yeah, you can do that but it's best to be aware of low/high tides that generate strong currents. If you get caught in one, don't fight it, just navigate in a diagonal line to your target.
Skrevet 11. juli 2018
I don't know if they are allowed on the island. I have never seen anyone use any kind of cooking equipment. Not even on the boats than anchor just off the beach. With past issues they have with fires and it being a nesting sanctuary, I would assume you cannot bring cooking equipment.
