Fort Island Gulf Beach

Fort Island Gulf Beach is a family friendly beach with beautiful white powdery sand, restrooms, showers and ample parking. There is boat ramp and dock accessibility. Stroll along the beautiful boardwalk and observe some of the natural wildlife or bring your tackle box and fish off the pier.

This launch site provides the boater with access to Gulf of Mexico and Crystal River.

Update: After hurricane damage, the Beach is now reopened! There are temporary/portable restrooms on-site. The boat ramp will remain closed, but crews are working to get it reopened quickly! Lifeguards are not currently on duty, so it is swim at your own risk.
