The largest park within the Pinellas County Park System, Fort De Soto park consists of 1,136 acres made up of five interconnected islands (keys). Whether you like to just soak up some sun and listen to music (like Jenny) or are more 'outdoorsy' and prefer to go kayaking, biking, hiking or fishing (like Jesse) - there is something for everyone at Fort De Soto! TOLLS: Please note that there are two tolls to get to Fort De Soto. One to enter Tierra Verde, and a second to enter the Park. The first can be paid via Sunpass or cash, the second can only be paid via cash or debit card. (Please be sure to inquire about tolls with your Rental Car agency if renting a car for the weekend.)
