5 /5 OPAL: Amazing place full of beauty, wildlife, and history. Took a small boat from Ft De Soto on a calm day and had no problems reaching the island. It was sparsely populated on our visit. After exploring the island and its historic facilities, we took the boat to a secluded side of the island to enjoy some private sun bathing. Bring all necessary supplies with you as nothing is available on the island. Will definitely visit again in the future.
