Bring 1 bottle of DEET spray and sunscreen for each day.
Firewood-$10
Bikes-
Bikes and kayaks rent fast so as a camper..I think you can rent per day
Ice-$4
Double Kayak-$18/hr
Single Kayaks-$10/hr
Paddle to cove and then the cove to the right about half way and you will find manatees.
Daytrippers come around 9am so campers get the first pick of washed up shells. Best time is after a storm.
- From the main path go right on the beach for olives and left for sanddollars, whelks. This is the place for horseconchs found closer to sandbar point.
I buy noseeum nets for upper and lower body to sleep in..the noseeums are that bad. Bring itch gel. They do sell in store for $7 or your sleep can be miserable.
Tropic Star no longer allows beach carts or carts so will no longer be using them. I use them to haul my things and firewood to campsite.

Just back from 8 nights and happy to report the rat issue has been addressed. It appears as if there had been an uptick in the number of day trippers visiting as there were 3 different ferry boats bring people in. Staff was super friendly and helpful as always. For those camping for first time prepare for bugs, wind and rain as it is rustic camping with running water and flush toilets.

No place like this that I have never seen. What a great shelling place. This is the unicorn of shelling destinations. Do not miss it.

THE RATS!!!! They have taken over the campground. They crawled over our tents in the night and they chewed anything and everything. We loved this park but we will not go back until the park does something to remedy the rat problem. If you are considering a cabin instead, you should know that on our last day a rat was in one of the cabins and bit a woman. We heard her scream. They left early too. It is too bad that the park staff could not eradicate the rats during the Covid shut-down. The situation is horrible and I strongly recommend you reconsider camping overnight at this park.

Since the park website can be short on details I thought I would share some practical advice on visiting and camping on the island.
The daytripper and camping boats are met in the marina atea by tram which will take you the 0.75 miles to the Gulf Beach. If you prefer to walk, there's only one road out aof the marina area (east side) and it is a 15-20minute walk to the beach.
On the marina side there are bathrooms with flush toilets and a camp store. The camp store has some basic supplies and snacks. You can rent kayaks and bikes from the camp store. The kayaks are sit on top single and doubles. They do not have a good place to store gear and expect water on the bottom of the kayak. If you take your phone put it in a dry bag to protect it.

Eine kleine Insel / Nationalpark mit einem wunderschönen Strand. Leider nur per Boot, Schiff, Fähre oder Kajak zu erreichen. Aber es lohnt sich hier einen Tag in der Abgeschiedenheit und der Natur zu verbringen.

This was my first visit and I'll be back, especially recommend it for the late fall and winter months. It was a wonderful way to spend Thanksgiving, very relaxing week. We hiked on the trails, rented bikes, walked on the beaches, and played in the water. Temps were in the upper 50's and low 60's at night which was great for sleeping. We were lucky to have some windy weather so it was comfortable during the day and the bugs were only pesky on our last day as the wind died down. We liked campsite 10. This site has morning sun and afternoon shade. Restrooms were clean. You can walk up to the camp store and ranger station, get snacks, firewood, and ice and take the tram back to camp. The tram is also how you can get your gear to your campsite. There was a small town feel to the place, plenty of space and privacy but also the opportunity to visit with other campers.

Been visiting for 20 years on/off. Now I live close enough to visit frequently on our boat. I noticed it has changed over the years and now with the population boom in Florida, it is more crowed then in the past. You can still enjoy less crowds than going to a beach by car in the area. Best to visit during the week depending upon why you are visiting. I come to shell therefore I must time my visits to the low tides and of course the winds, weather, etc. Would recommend sunscreen on the beach and footwear if shelling. Very scenic, plenty of wildlife and water is warm during the summer and fall but color varies. You can usually always see Dolphin from the beach or on the way in by boat. No facilities on the gulf side of the island. Hope it remains the same for years to come. Come for peace, beauty and relaxation.

This is the third time we have been to Cayo Costa and it never disappoints. If you want a slightly different beach experience you should come here. This place is only accessible by boat and while there are cabins for those who want to spend a few nights, we were just here for the afternoon. This is a state park and therefore not developed which is part of the fun. After you are deposited at the dock, a park ranger will take you by tram to the other side of the island. Nature lovers will enjoy seeing the wide variety of birds, plants, and of course shells. A highlight of our trip this time was seeing a shark snag a fish near the dock while waiting for our boat to return.

Is it easy to rent bikes & kayaks when you get there or can you reserve in advance?

We went up to the store about 10 am and rented bikes easily. Time it so you can either take the tram up or back after returning them. It was very windy while we were there so no kayak rentals were allowed. They have basic sit-on-top kayaks. The bikes were well used, the salt air doesn't due them any favors but we found what would work for us. They had both kid and adult bikes with thicker tires for the sand. Not the true gravel bikes but good enough for a comfortable 8 miles.

I understand the 1:00 Tram is NOT running.( shirt staff). The Tropic Star will be dropping us off a little before 1:00 have an Orthodox. How far of a walk is it? I've heard that it's .7 miles and then I've heard it's 1 1/2 miles since we only have two hours on the island I want to plan accordingly. Thank you

Just back Walk is .7 miles and tram is timed to match ferry’s.
Is the water in the restrooms potable? Just wondering how much water we need to bring?

Good question! I'm not sure, but since there is also a campground there, there must be water for drinking available.
We are camping here this weekend and I’m not sure about firewood? The island’s only store is shutdown due to COVID-19. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am interested in reserving a tent camping site at Cayo Costa State Park this upcoming March. However, I am not from Florida and would find it difficult to bring in camping gear via airplane. Is there anywhere local that I could rent camping gear such as a tent, hammock, sleeping bag, and whatnot?

Walmart is ridiculously cheap for camping equipment. Better to buy then donate once you have finished.

Advice needed regarding staying in the ADA cabin for a person in a wheelchair. Ranger tells us it will be okay, but I am worried about the pathway to the cabin itself being too sandy for a wheelchair wheel to get through. We are former FL residents with experience with barrier islands and roughing it, but life with a spinal cord injury is new to us.
Any direct experience?
Any thoughts?
Ideas?

The first half of the walk to the beach is a wooden boardwalk. Once you are off that, it is loose sand. Perhaps you can rent ad beach wheelchair from somewhere close by.
Hello, I have a 14.6ft skiff (skimmer skiff) and my plan is to boat from Pine island Marina to Cayo Costa with a 15hp outboard. How safe it is in such small skiff, thanks in advance

I am not a boating person.
I have only kayaked around the area backwaters.
If you need to go through Boca pass, the pass waters get pretty rough and there is a strong current. And at times the Gulf can get rough too.
Pine Island marina has boat charters available which you can arrange. That might be your best bet.
Maybe call the marina and inquire about options.

Most likely.
I would check with the Florida Parks department.
Maybe their web site has some information about that?
Or, call the phone number on their web site.

It is a fantastic place. If you are camping bug spray anyway. Other varmits may be there....if you are camping...also have a few cottages that might be better to use.
