Once at Egmont Key you are free to explore this tropical island with the tales of the Spanish Conquistadors, the Lighthouse, ruins dating back to the 1700's, or shelling where an abundance of sea shells wash onshore on palm-tree lined, secluded beaches. You can then also have a picnic, swim in the shallow water, sightsee, take lots of pictures, see the tortoises, the ruins, enjoy the beach...
