4.5Leffis Key Preserve(57 reviews) - Great nature walk for an hour's respite from the beach crowds! Spent 2-3 hours Parks
This is great to do in combination with Coquina beach; we parked at the beach (free) and crossed the street to this park. It was a relief from the crowds and there was quite a lot of shade to rest in. Bring mosquito repellent though. There's a picnic shelter at the entrance (no barbecue). It had rained the day before and some boardwalk were flooded but we stopped at several lookouts for different views. We saw plenty of little crabs too.See more..
4.5Manatee Beach Park(40 reviews) - Great beach! Spent More than 3 hours State Parks
Despite the red tide, the beach experience was awesome. Water was clear, sun was out, sand free of trash and mostly free of sea debris. The Cafe was a little pricy, but the menu was extensive and offered something for everyone. Parking was easy. Showers and changing rooms were easy to access. See more..
