May 20, 2013 - Fort de Soto County Park

When we left our friends in Naples, we headed north on I75 and I275 toward St Petersburg Beach and Fort de Soto county park. There is a fort, which we had visited several years ago, but the beach is one of the top ten in the world because of its beautiful white sand.

Dec 30, 2010 - Fort de Soto State Park

Belle journee plaisante semi-couverte avec une temperature dans les 70F. Nous avons visiter le "State Park Fort De Soto" et avons fait le circuit en bicyclette (22.1 kilometres aller-retour).

We camped at Fort De Soto Park, during Christmas break in the early 70's. It was such an impressive park we vowed to return, never dreaming it would take us so long. Sometimes things that wowed us when we were in our twenties no longer have the same impact. However, this spot holds up nicely. We are so pleased with the spacious campsites many on the water, that we made a reservation to come back again after we return to the area from Orlando. The park is huge; one of the parking lots at the beach is so large we couldn't see from one end to...
