Palm Harbor Travel Guide

Sandwiched between Lake Tarpon and Saint Joseph Sound, this luxurious Floridian enclave enjoys sea or lake views virtual everywhere. Beautiful homes, warm white sand, and a spot on the less chaotic West Coast of Florida, Palm Harbor is a great place to visit.

Things to Do in Palm Harbor

It probably won’t come as a surprise that activity in Palm Harbor begins and ends at the ocean. Located offshore, and accessible only by a quick boat ride, Anclote Key Preserve State Park has a number of fabulous beaches dispersed across four islands. Many are virtually untouched and are open for camping. Meanwhile, Honeymoon Island State Park is the most visited state park in Florida, and for good reason -- the beaches are lovely and the waters warm. Those wanting a more city-centric experience can drive to nearby Tampa and St Petersburg.

Best Time to Visit Palm Harbor

Not visited as frequently as cities like Orlando, Miami or even Tampa, Palm Harbor makes a great summer escape.
