Egmont Key State Park

The island of Egmont Key has unique natural and cultural histories which have made it a valuable state resource. In the 1830s, Congress authorized funds to build a lighthouse here; completed in 1848, it was the only lighthouse between St Marks Key and Key West. Fort Dade was established here as the Spanish-American War became imminent. Completed in 1906, Fort Dade was a small city of 300 residents which included electricity, telephones, movie theater, bowling alley, hospital, and jail; the fort was later de-activated in 1923. Visitors can walk through the historic ruins of Fort Dade or the brick paths that remain from its days as an active community. Swimming in the warm bay waters, boating, and fishing are also enjoyed at the park, which is accessible by private boat only. Located at the mouth of Tampa Bay, southwest of Fort De Soto beach.
