East beach (Florida) region (Fort De Soto Park sub-region) is located outside the Fort De Soto settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the East beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

Everything about this place was incredible, except for the location of the site and the unpleasant water. Aside from that, we had a fantastic time.

I absolutely love everything about Fort Desoto. The BBQ facilities in the shelters are incredibly well-designed, complete with movable grills. The grills themselves are made of heavy-duty bar stock, which means that placing a secondary grill or covering it with aluminum foil creates an even better cooking surface. The placement of trash receptacles is very convenient, and the tables are always well-maintained. Overall, it provides a fantastic picnic experience.

We went to the beach in early February and it wasn't crowded at all. The parking fee is $5, which you can pay at the machines, and it allows you to park anywhere in the park until 9:00 pm. The park has fantastic bike paths that cover the entire area, and the views are absolutely stunning!

4 Frustrating

This beach isn't as crowded, but there are several drawbacks. There are plenty of seaweeds, and the sand isn't as fine as other beaches. Unfortunately, the kids ended up with cuts while playing on the beach. During the summer, the problem with bugs and gnats is significant, so be prepared with bug spray and other measures. I wouldn't recommend it. There are better beaches in the Tampa Bay area.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

East beach (Florida) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all East beach (Florida) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the East beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
