School, Scout & Youth Club Outdoor Field Trips
at Honeymoon Island State Park!
Join us for shell-lined beaches and crystal-clear Gulf waters in a state park spanning approximately 2,785 acres with over 4 miles of shoreline.
Sensing Nature educators lead engaging youth field trips at Florida's most visited state park - Honeymoon Island State Park, located in Dunedin on the west coast of Pinellas County. With our educators, students explore important Florida habitats like slash pine forests, coastal hammocks, and mangrove swamps. These hands-on experiences introduce learners to native wildlife such as gopher tortoises, ospreys, and shorebirds, while highlighting the island’s barrier island ecology, tidal lagoons, and conservation efforts.
Discover the natural wonders of this state park gem with Sensing Nature, where our educators provide your learners with a dynamic and enriching outdoor experience.
