near the island. It has also been named as one of the five most
important sites in Florida for nesting and migrating endangered
shore and sea birds.
Egmont Key
This 440-acre island is the home of the last government-manned
lighthouse (built in 1858) in the United States. Now a wildlife
refuge, Egmont Key was a camp for captured Seminole Indians
during the Third Seminole war and was a Union Navy base during
the Civil War. Several boats offer snorkeling excursions to this
island. Visitors can snorkel over grass beds and ruins of two
gun batteries from the fort, or enjoy the unspoiled beach.

continental United States, Fort De Soto Park offers 900
unspoiled acres and seven miles of beaches. A unique area made
up of five islands, the park features a fort built during the
Spanish-American War on the largest of the islands, Mullet Key.
