Hammock Park

The Hammock is a unique 90-acre natural park inhabited by various forms of wildlife and plant life. It has five miles of nature trails, three picnic shelters,an observation platform, rest rooms and a playground area. The park is located at the northeast end of San Mateo Drive and is open every day from sunrise to sunset. Many birds can be seen at Hammock Park and the park is listed in the "Great Florida Birding Trail Book."

my daughter asks
for another tangerine -
Hammock Park


Hammock Park is a beautiful park with walking trails. There are tons of orange trees there, but the oranges are rather sour. However we discovered the tangerines can be sweeter. My children will ask me to pick them tangerine after tangerine when they are available. It’s a challenge though, because there aren’t many tangerine trees (and the animals and other visitors will pick them too).

Honeymoon Island

The pioneers called it Hog Island, but it became Honeymoon Isle in 1939 when a New York developer built 50 palm - thatched bungalows for honeymooners. Today, visitors can drive across Dunedin Causeway to enjoy the sun - drenched Gulf beaches, mangrove swamps, and tidal flats. Nature lovers will find osprey nests, a wide variety of shorebirds, and one of the few remaining virgin slash pine forests in South Florida.
The park boasts several nature trails and bird observation areas. Visitors can swim, fish, and snorkel in the warm waters of the Gulf or picnic while they enjoy the beautiful scenery. Shelling is particularly good here, as the Gulf currents deposit an incredible variety of seashells on the shore.

Honeymoon Island –
my toes find mud on the floor
of the ocean

Last year I discovered patches of mud in the ocean.
We had fun plastering it all over us and then washing it off.
