We travel all the way from Queensland Australia for the past 3 years and head straight for this beach every time! For us it beats the Aussie beaches for clarity and. Olof of ocean, the shelling and laid back atmosphere. We enjoy the walk to stump pass and last week spent an hour watching dolphin pods corralling fish, a pair... More

Not so much of a trip to necessarily visit the beach, although this is nice enough. The highlight for us was the nature walk that loops along the waterway to the tip then either turn around or walk back along the beach. I believe it's around 1.25 mile each way. We found no problem with parking as it was early... More

Great get away. Parking can be a challenge. Boats from the channel are everywhere but not a problem. Shells and shark teeth everywhere. More

After reading the glowing reviews on this site, we felt this had to be a perfect place for us to visit....away from the 'maddening crowd'. Wrong....a lot of others must have thought the same thing. Granted, it was Spring Break. And we are "old geezers". There were way too many people and vehicles for our liking. Had to wait to... More

We are regular visitors to Florida and found this amazing beach a few years ago. I was loathe to write a review because I selfishly wanted to keep it to ourselves. It is a beautiful little beach, full of shells, shark teeth and awesome wildlife. Also, a beautiful place to watch the amazing Florida Sunset. Bring a picnic, some cold... More

Stump Pass Beach State Park is a very nice little park with a beach on the Gulf of Mexico side that is not dotted with hotels or houses nearby. There is a trail that takes the visitor inland a little bit through the vegetation and near the lagoon. It was here that a great abundance of birds were present. I... More

The beach during the Christmas holiday was not crowded. It was very peaceful. We sat and watched birds, and waves. We found a few small sharks' teeth. The parking is $3 for the whole day. The bathroom facilities were clean. There's a nature trail which we plan to take the next time we visit. More

Well, I finally made it out to Stump Pass Beach State Park after 2 days of attempting but being unable to because of storms. My original reason for going was kayaking, but I soon found out that it's not really the ideal spot for a relaxing paddle. There was lots of boat traffic out there today and a fairly swift... More
