Cool place. I kayak here from Williams park which takes roughly 20-30 minutes. It's a small island that has a walking path that goes toward the middle of the island. There is a pavilion in the middle but last time I went some honey bees were making it their home. Would be great if there someone willing to bring it back to life if we got some donations to get together, because it is a really cool place to hang out and explore. Some good fishing around here as well.

Good little place to chill out. Closest island to Alafia or Hillsborough River. Beach has a lot of shells, not super sandy. Sandbar area on the northwest side of the island has less shells. A few trails go across the island but be prepared to be destroyed by mosquitos. Not great scenery, you can see the industrial area of Tampa.

Sad how fast this island is washing away and how little boats care about it. Boats are constantly leaving trash. The island is a bird sanctuary in the spring. Once it's gone, the birds will have to find another place to nest each year.

I would say this landfill is over rated. It just happened while dredging. Misrepresenting historic landmark. It just happened.

First time visiting. Nice place

Very nice group of people, made friends and enjoy everytime we go witch is often, everyone cleans up after themselves and helps out if needed. Love ❤ the 🏝

great place to hang-out , no restrooms so ya pee in the water .

Nice place to go with the family, it need more maintenance and a bathroom 🚻 with showers 🚿 also people need to take their garbage with them other than that depend of the time of the year is a nice place.

WHAT A WONDERFUL VISIT TO "FANTASY ISLAND"….. I WENT VIA JET SKI...THE DANGEROUS BOARDWALK WAS TAKEN DOWN...THANK GOODNESS. I ONCE SAW PEOPLE DIVING OFF OF IT...IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITE. IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY & IT WAS A LITTLE CHOPPY ON THE WAVE RUNNER IT WAS WORTH THE VISIT ON A WEEKDAY

A great place to wade in the shallow, play with the kids or dog, and float around.

Gorgeous and serene…went via boat

Nice sanbar to hang out on. Not too crowded.
