Caladesi Island
If you’re wondering if you can swim on Caladesi Island the answer is YES! It is a beautiful beach with very small waves, making it a great place to go swimming. This is one of the best things to do on Caladesi Island. There is usually a lifeguard on duty between Memorial Day
and Labor Day.
The island has about four miles of beach. Along the Caladesi beach, you will see a variety of wildlife, sea life, shells, and beautiful water. Because this island is mostly only accessible by boat, it is not as busy as some of the other nearby Florida beaches.
You can expect to find lots of open space on the beach with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the beautiful island almost to yourself!

Egmont Key (And Daytime Skyway View Ride)
If you want to spend some time on a beautiful pristine island paradise, our private charter to Egmont Key State Park is a great choice for you and your family! Get ready for a day of fun in the sun with Kraken Charters. The ferry ride to the island offers great chances to spot dolphins, sea turtles, and sometimes even manatees! We often spot sea birds on the ride to and from Egmont Key Island.
Once on the island, Egmont Key offers great shelling, swimming, and opportunities for adventures. There is even a large fort on the island named Fort Dade you can access and explore. This fort dates to the Spanish American war era and is spread out along the island’s interior. Egmont Key is also home to a large population of native gopher tortoises! These large, slow-moving tortoises are an endangered species, so you cannot touch them, but they make for great photos as you spot them throughout the island’s interior.
Egmont Key is also home to a large nature preserve – nearly half of the island is blocked to guests, allowing the native seabirds and sea turtles a section of undisturbed beach. This nature preserve area is home to tons of nesting birds and nesting turtles and we cruise around this area by boat.
If you would like to take a ferry ride to Egmont Key with us, pack like you are spending the day at the beach! Bring sunscreen, towels, bathing suits, sun protective hats, shirts, and other gear. Egmont Key is a pristine island, so there is not a bathroom or any type of shop on the island so make sure to come prepared with a cooler full of water, food, and drinks.

Shell Key
Shell Key Preserve is a jewel-in-the-rough that few people take the time to experience. A 1,828-acre archipelago at the mouth of Tampa Bay off Florida’s Gulf Coast, Shell Key Preserve is frequented primarily by birds and other wildlife. For people to get there, they must take a boat to Shell Key, the biggest piece of dry land in the preserve.
Once they arrive on the key, people are limited to the southern end of the little island. The rest of the preserve is reserved for wildlife because it’s one of the state’s most important areas for shorebird nesting and overwintering.
Birds seen in the preserve year-round include wading species such as the reddish egret, great blue heron, great egret and snowy egret, as well as gulls, terns, black skimmers and Wilson’s plovers.
At 195 acres, Shell Key is one of the largest undeveloped barrier islands in St. Pete/Clearwater. The rest of the preserve, stretching from the key east to the Pinellas Bayway, consists of 10 or so small mangrove islands and shallow waters with extensive seagrass beds that are crucial nurseries for many sea life species. Sea turtles’ nest and hatch in the preserve from May 1 to Sept. 30
