      Yeah it's definitely a bit of a walk, but if you don't want to walk it, you can take the ferry from Honeymoon Island. We still haven't done it ourselves, but we've heard it's a nice little ride!

    Love the car haha! I was a little confused when you said that its a two mile beach walk to the island followed by saying your will be riding your scooters to the beach from the parking spot, but then it all made sense when you left them at a bike rack ( So glad they were both still there and not a two for one deal for anyone looking to steal one) seems like a peaceful walk to the island and something we'd likely do ourselves, but a little more cautious now that you said there's rattlesnakes on the island...we don't do snakes, yikes! Look forward to seeing you guys kayak there in the future!

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  ปีที่แล้ว

      It would be quite the walk from Residence Inn, but you can definitely do it. You could also take an uber as far north as you can go on Clearwater Beach to save you a couple miles of walking. You will be on the beach the entire walk to Caladesi from Clearwater. So you just walk as far as you feel like (or until you hit the far north end of Caladesi), and then turn back. We hope you do end up making it there and love it as much as we do!

      Thanks, Tonya. We love Caladesi! I believe it was only around 1.5 miles one way, so it would take 20 to 30 minutes for most people. Of course the walks always take us longer since we are stopping to film constantly! There is a spot at the ranger station to pay your entrance fee if you walk to the island.

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not that we're aware of. You'd have to ride a couple miles down the beach to access the park. So while there likely are bike rentals available somewhere on the beach, we're not sure they would want you riding them that far on the beach given how hard the sand/salt water can be on them.

      Depends where you start from in Clearwater Beach. If you start from the farthest north beach access on Clearwater Beach, it's about a 2 mile walk to the Caldesi main access area. But if you start further south where the vehicle parking is, it will be closer to 3 miles.

      As far as local beaches that you can walk too goes, you really can't find more of a secluded spot than Caladesi!

    You stated that you began your walk around 11:00am, how long did it take you? Was it an hour or more to get there?

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      From where we started it's about a 1.25 mile walk to the south edge of Caladesi (around 20 minute walk) and another mile from there to get to the bathroom/concession area. So probably around 35-40 minutes of walking one way if you want to get to the central portion of Caladesi. Thanks so much for watching, Catherine.

    How long did the walk take from the Scooter drop off point to the Ranger Station?

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It generally takes us about a half hour, but we usually make a stop or two along the way. It could certainly be done a bit faster if you're in a hurry.

      @@Explorcation I certainly wouldn’t want to rush it tbh, I would have 2 kids with me who don’t like walking very far so 30 minutes may just be about right for them! Thanks for your reply and keep up with the content, I really enjoy it!

    What are your scooter recommendations?

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well we've only ever ridden one scooter (the Glion Dolly's that we own), but we put a lot of research into the purchase and we absolutely love them. We've had them for nearly three years now and they are still going strong. Plus they fold up small and can be pulled behind you like a suitcase which is a big perk!

    Is Caladesi really a lot nicer than honeymoon island and worth the extra money to get there?

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  ปีที่แล้ว

      If you enjoy a more secluded beach vibe, we would say it's worth it to get to Caladesi. If you don't mind sharing the beach with more people, then we'd recommend saving the money and visiting Honeyoon Island. Both offer beautiful beaches.

    • @Explorcation
      @Explorcation  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Having more of a secluded beach feel. Clearwater Beach gets crazy busy on the weekends. And while the north side of Clearwater Beach is normally much less busy than the south side, you can still usually find another level of seclusion on Caladesi.

      Our understanding is that beach-front property owners only own the beach up to the high tide line, so as long as you stay between the water and the high tide line, you would not be trespassing.
