With 79 acres (32 ha) of unoccupied white sandy beaches, Tigertail Beach sits alongside a tidal lagoon. The beach hosts water sports galore, and you can rent paddleboards and kayaks by the hour. Considered one of the best all-around bird watching spots in southwest Florida, the beach is a critical habitat for migrating and indigenous birds, including herons, pelicans, and egrets. Deck chairs and tiger-striped cabanas are available to rent for the day. Families will appreciate the playground and cafe on site.

Beautiful beach, the walk to get to the beach is ridiculously long. Pack lite, lots of parking at all times of the day.

We loved this beach park. Well worth the entry/parking fee. It was pretty full when we got there but thankfully were able to get in & find a spot. It was quite a hike to get out to the actual beach but again, well worth the effort. The beach is nice & wide and water is great. We will definitely be coming back!

We had so much fun at Tigertale beach! Newly updated prices as of January 2022 is $10 to park. Credit cards only. You should try to park in the farthest parking lot possible as it decreases the long walk. Also try to use the restroom before you walk out because it’s about a 10 minute walk to the beach. The sand is not super soft because there are lots of shells, but we found some super cool ones! Beach is well populated but not crowded. Overall great beach day!
