Lovers Key State Park is a protected coastal area that is as romantic as its name. Visit it to find bottlenose dolphins, marsh rabbits, and manatees that play in the shallow waters and marshes. Watch the skies to see an assortment of bird species, including hawks and warblers. The beach is 3 km (2 mi) of white sand, an area good for swimming. Cross over to Black Island for a kayak rental, or rent a bike to use on the paved trails that crisscross the island.

May 16, 2017Went out canoeing and was so exited about seeing manatees and a snake. The beach is great for seashells. And the lady how lent us the canoe came out after we returned our gear and gave our daughter a bag of seashells. Made her week to get a bag full of treasures! Thank you so much!

June 15, 2017This park has it all. The beach is beautiful. There is a kayak & paddleboard launch on the inside calm bay water. There are trails that cut through the island. Love this place!

June 19, 2017Great place to take the family. They have both Kayaks and canoes for rent. We went on a windy day and the waterways are pretty protected by the trees so it was easy paddling.

December 23, 2016I know of no other place nearby where you can access a pristine, white sand beach, ride easy dirt bike trails, and kayak along mangrove creeks -- all in the company of bald eagles, manatee, and dolphins. Fishing is also permitted. I never had the chance to try but it looks like it would be stellar! Bikes and kayaks are available to rent at moderate prices. Arrive early to get good parking, especially during the tourist season. Well worth spending a day or two here. We drive an hour from home on Marco Island because it's so nice. Highly recommended!
