About This Tour
If you’ve ever dreamt of exploring your very own deserted island, a day trip to Egmont Key State Park may just be just the ticket. The ruins of Fort Dade (a military garrison built during the Spanish-American War in 1898) and a working lighthouse that’s more than 150 years old. The lighthouse is a relic of the prominent role the island played in Florida’s Seminole Indian War in 1854 as well as the Civil War. Immerse yourself in the island’s rich past by walking around Fort Dade, including a carriage brick road, sidewalks, gun batteries and a guardhouse. The guardhouse building has been restored to serve as a visitor center and small museum (hours are sporadic). Learn more about the island’s environment and heritage through wildlife and history exhibits here. Plus: Encounter playful dolphins in their natural habitat, a heartwarming spectacle that underscores our commitment to responsible tourism.
