Located at the mouth of Tampa Bay, southwest
of Fort DeSoto Beach, Egmont Key is primarily a wildlife refuge. It’s a place
to relax and collect shells along secluded pristine beaches. Accessible only by
private boat, Egmont Key has a unique natural and cultural history, including a
lighthouse that has stood since 1858. During the 19th century, the island
served as a camp for captured Seminoles at the end of the Third Seminole War
and was later occupied by the Union Navy during the Civil War. In 1898, as the
Spanish - American War threatened, Fort Dade was built on the island and
remained active until 1923. After touring the historic sites and trails,
visitors can enjoy swimming, fishing, wildlife viewing, and picnicking.
