Stump Pass Beach State Park, Englewood

I did enjoy this place, we tool the 1.3 mile nature walk to the bottom of the park. Pretty walk with info on the trees and plants in the region. We went on a very overcast Sunday and did not have to wait for a parking spot. Locals say get here before 8am. The water was warm on 4/3/2022. Spent the day shark tooth hunting. Most people had success on the shoreline, I spent hours with a bait basket 30 feet off shore hoping for a large tooth score. My opinion, this is a place for large intact shells and not prized shark teeth. It was very secluded so if you like quite this is your place.

The beach,the bay and the trees in-between makes this a very unique place.hazslimited parking as it is popular. Open between am to sunset.turtles nest here! dogs are not allowed which is a bit disappointing. The walking path between the bay and beach is awesome. However, the mosquitoes will eat you alive, so spray something to protect! On the whole its a great park.
