Welcome to Anclote Key Preserve State Park! Come and enjoy the solitude of this beautiful island and its pristine beaches. There is excellent fishing from our shores with catches of snook, sea trout, and mullet. A picturesque 19th century lighthouse stands sentry on the southern portion of the island (please observe this from a distance). We, together with the Gulf Islands Alliance Citizen Support Organization, have restored this structure to its former beauty. Primitive camping is available on the North end of the island as well as picnic pavilions and grills. When visiting Anclote Key, please remember to bring plenty of sunscreen, bug spray and most importantly, water.
