Reviews of Lovers Key State Park
"Picturesque beach is characterized by pristine, white sand. Access to the beach is provided via a tram service that operates every 20 minutes and is included in the $8 entrance fee. Ample parking is available, and the beach is not excessively crowded. For those who prefer not to bring their own seating, there is an option to rent chairs and umbrellas at a reasonable cost."
"What a stunning knock dead gorgeous place. Beautiful beaches, estuaries, and Discovery Center. We first stopped at the Discovery Center to get the lay of the land, so to speak. We were met by Glenda, a docent who volunteers her time here. Very pleasant lady and very knowledgeable. She was able to answer all of our questions, and she pointed out things to do after leaving the Discovery Center. The Discovery Center is amazing. Very well put together, giving you an excellent overview of the biodiversity of the marine life and land loving creatures. There are a lot of interactive displays for kids of all ages. There is a telescope there where you can spy in on a nesting pair of Ospreys. We strongly recommend that you visit this place first. From there, we walked over and took the trolley down to the beach. The beach has been combed down to a depth of three feet to remove the hurricane derbis from hurricane Ian less than two years ago. Be careful if you go into the water. It is strongly recommended that you wear shoes in the water. Many hazards may still be on the ocean floor that can not be seen. There are restrooms near the beach area. There are lots of trails, and you are allowed to ride your bikes on these trails. Again, it is a must-see place during your travels to this area."
"Great State Park. Hiking trails that are wide and easy, very bike-able. Also kayak rentals, fishing and beach access with trolley option. Clean facilities and bathrooms everywhere. Great nature opportunities."
"Great park with excellent trails through the mangroves. One of the better wildlife viewing areas we visited while in the area. Lots of birds. Saw a couple snakes. A bunch of lizards. And the endangered gopher tortoise! Wonderful education signs. It’s a great way to spend a morning. The trails weren’t busy but the beach and beach parking was very busy."
"Visited this state park to catch the sunset, and it was breathtaking. The beach is beautiful, and you have the option of taking a tram or a half-mile walk to reach it. Keep in mind that the park closes around 6 due to hurricane-related issues affecting the lighting. Overall, a serene and picturesque spot for nature lovers."
