Palm or Don Pedro Island is one of the many islands that line the Gulf Coast, providing the Florida coast with a barrier of sorts. Guests of vacation rentals, homes, and cabins on Palm Island can enjoy all the typical Florida attractions, including the sun and more than a mile of sandy beach. The seclusion of this destination is appealing, as there is no industry and no crowded roads. Palm Island is ideal for relaxing vacations, and for those who want to take a close look at nature. There are eleven distinct nature communities along the island’s many trails, and visitors often choose to explore the offerings of Palm Island through hiking, windsurfing, and biking.
Some popular ocean sports commonly practiced along the shores of Palm Island are swimming, snorkeling, and boating. Charter cruises and deep sea fishing excursions are commonplace in the surrounding waters, and there is an excellent restaurant on the north side of Palm Island. There is no lack of ways to spend time on Palm Island, as the landscape is dotted with pavilions, grills, tables, and beaches. A short boat ride across the channel brings guests of Palm Island vacation rentals to the attractions of the mainland, which include dozens of golf courses, shopping malls, and many restaurants.
