Britt’s Tour of the South- Day 2: Cruising on the Ocean
Normaly I’m not a big beach fan! Hundreds of people lying around baking in the hot sun, is not my idea of fun, but when I read about this tour, it sounded promising. A boat ride, and a dolphin sight-seeing tour sounded good, but the part that really caught my attention was exploring a private island where you may actually find some peace and quiet.
Out Island Day Cruise to Cayo Costa State Park, departs 9:00 am. Begin your trip with a two hour narrated cruise, and then hit the beach! Cayo Costa State Park lies on an eight mile long barrier island with a pristine beach. The park service maintains a picnic area with shelter houses, restrooms and outdoor showers adjacent to the beach but there is little other development on the island and no stores, hotels or condominiums anywhere in sight. If you enjoy sun, sand, shells and the sea this is the trip for you. Pack your picnic cooler, bring the camera and sun block and enjoy three hours on the island on your own. Return to the real world with us on a dolphin-filled cruise home, arriving back in port approximately 4:30 pm.

The smell of sea water sure can make you hungry
River City Grill has great atmosphere and a menu to match. Seafood so fresh it’s still moving, slightly pricier then your average chain restaurant, but if your a seafood lover it’s worth the trip.
