About Keewaydin Island

Keewaydin is an 8-mile barrier island between Naples and Marco Island. It has no roads and no bridge, so the only way on is by boat. The Gulf side is a long, quiet beach that is good for shelling. The bay side is where boats anchor on weekends, and where dolphins and manatees often show up.

Much of the island is protected as part of Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, and loggerhead sea turtles nest on the beach in summer. There are no shops, restrooms or shade, so bring water, sunscreen and everything you'll need.

Ways to get there

  • Water shuttle: a ride over and back from Naples. You choose your pickup time and spend the day on the beach.
  • Shelling or beach tour: a captain takes a small group, helps find shells and points out wildlife.
  • Private charter: the whole boat for your group, on your schedule.
  • Rent a boat: drive yourself from Naples or Isles of Capri. Watch the tide: the bay side gets shallow.
  • Jet ski or kayak tour: some guided tours from Naples and Isles of Capri stop at the island.
