Fort De Soto Park & Beach - Our Top Rated Beach & Great Birding Place Too!

Fort De Soto Park in Tierra Verde, Pinellas County, Florida is one of Florida's best beaches but also a great place for fishing, camping, kayaking, boating & birding!  And the scenery is not bad, either.  There is even an old historic fort to wander through.  

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is visible from the East beaches & loop.

The fishing piers are very popular and I have seen many fish caught off of them.

When I make the trip over to this wonderful park I am on the look out for wildlife and particularly, birds.    During the winter months the birds are usually very plentiful.   There are shorebirds, raptors, and songbirds in the various environments found on the island. 

Osprey

Oystercatcher

Snowy Eqret

If you are in the Tampa Bay area I highly recommend a visit to this park.  It has something for everyone!
