About this experience

Experience and explore backwaters of Holiday and Anclote Key Island State Park. Always a short distant and boat ride to great fishing in Anclote Anchorage. Enjoy fishing one of the most popular and unique ecosystem found within the area. Fishing is great all year round, and there is such diversity of fish nearshore, shallow fishing for Snook, Redfish, Trout and Tarpon, depending on the season. Even on windy days there are plenty of places to fish, in the Sting ray Cover area where you can fish one of the many barrier islands, and hundreds of miles of backcountry water shoreline, making this an experience, not just another fishing trip.

While visitors and travelers were experiencing Holiday, FL and the outdoor adventures, they also enjoyed Key Vista Nature Park, or something uniquely different like a Race to Escape game perfect for friends or family!
