We made it to Fort De Soto yesterday, and it did not disappoint! We headed to the north beach which has plenty of parking, and plenty of space to spread out! The sand is powder white and perfect for shelling.

We found so many pretty shells and a ton of broken sand dollars. Can you believe I’ve never found a whole sand dollar? I’m making it my mission this summer!! The kids even ended up spotting a dolphin ( see below) and we saw a ton of sea turtle nests.

The fun thing about Fort De Soto is that it’s part of the Tierra verde boating community, the kids really enjoyed watching all the boat traffic.

With plenty of beach to spread out, I’m saying Fort De Soto is the perfect family spot. We can’t wait to go back on our next trip and check out the battery and museum. The kids spotted the war cannons and I know they would enjoy seeing them up close. We may even be able to convince James to go camping.
