Beach Rights:
As our guests you have beach rights on the beautiful Don Pedro Island, which is part of an extensive chain of barrier islands extending along the Gulf Coast of Florida. Between Knight Island and Little Gasparilla Island, Don Pedro is accessible only by private boat or ferry. Cars are allowed on the island but most people use golf carts to get around. Boaters can tie up at the dock on the bay side of the island, which is lined with mangroves. You may be lucky enough to see endangered animals such as West Indian manatees, gopher tortoises, bald eagles, and American oystercatchers. With one mile of white sandy beach, popular activities on the island's Gulf side include sunbathing, swimming, snorkelling and shelling. There are hiking and nature trails that meander through the island's eleven distinct nature communities. Sea Turtle nesting season is from May to September when visitors are asked to exercise caution and not disturb the nesting sites; guided walks and educational talks are available by park rangers. Don Pedro is located off the coast of Cape Haze about three miles south of Rotonda West. Facilities for visitors include a pavilion, tables, grills, outdoor showers and restrooms.
Rotonda is primarily a residential area, it is both quiet and peaceful but is still within reach of the many attractions that Florida is famous for.
