Even before the advent of modern civilization, Honeymoon Island was simply one of the many unnamed barrier islands all along Florida's west coast. Today all visitors can enjoy the beautiful white sand beach stretching the entire length of the island, including the only "pet beach" in the state. Picnic pavilions, bathhouses, and a concession stand are located within the park, and hikers can enjoy a trail leading through one of the few remaining virgin slash pine stands in South Florida. In addition, the park boasts several trails leading to bird observation areas.
