Joined my community in solidarity to peacefully protest a commercial venture on community land. Felt good to make noise and gather with like minded neighbors who value the serenity of our park for its wildlife and natural beauty. Anclote River Park is a local treasure, nestled at the opening of the Anclote River to the Gulf of Mexico. For over twenty years, since I moved to the area, this park has often been a peaceful retreat allowing quiet time in nature. Whenever time allows we go listen to the birds, dip my toes in the sand and watch the colorful sunset. An Indian Mound nearby makes me ponder those who have sat in this spot before me, for centuries. EXCERPT from Suncoast News article 4/18/23 ~Over the years, there were several archaeological examinations done in the area of the park. One done in 1970 by the Suncoast Archaeology Society describes “a six-foot-high temple mound, a midden and a burial mound 75 feet in diameter and 7 feet tall.”~ It is awe inspiring, and being encroached upon by developers that want to turn the county park into a 22,000 square feet restaunt with indoor/outdoor seating, floating docks, a water sports concession and space for live entertainment monstrosity. There are plenty of places that offer all that in the area, our community parks aren't for this purpose. The proposed plan will turn our natural space into another parking lot zoo based on commercialism. Does not belong edging the Indian mound, the Spanish well and the Eagles Nest that have long called this special place home. We, the community of Anclote DO NOT want this. This is our park not your Entertainment venue. #ancloteriver #ancloteriverpark #indianmounds #savenaturalspaces #saveanclotepark

Kids love this beach. Coming from the north on 19... this is one of the first beaches you come to that have white sand and a sandy bottom in the water. The swimming area is roped off to keep boaters far enough away and the water in the swimming area was only around 5 feet deep at the farthest area. Kids were swimming and found sand dollars... a shell with a crab in it and even a scallop swimming backwards. Dad had a crab hanging onto his swimming trunks and the kids were laughing. The picnic area has plenty of trees and shade with picnic tables and there are bathrooms...an outdoor rinsing shower and extra bath houses for changing. Definitely one of our favorite beaches in the area. The only draw back is they do not allow dogs.... but I did see dogs walking in the picnic area... so maybe they allow dogs there just not on the beach. For a dog park/beach area you need to go up north a bit to the Anclote Gulf park with the fishing pier..they have a nice dog park there.

This is a beauty of a dream park. Surrounded of beautiful views of small keys to the anclote of the gulf. The view is a dream at sunset. Perfect place to propose. Park is full of life and very well maintained. Has a netted area to swim and have kids enjoy the beautiful view without any fear of sharks. Occasionally you can see mullets jump through the people swimming. Also a great spot to fish. Many picnic tables right at the front of the water. Many rinsing showers and even a beach guard post in the middle of the 'beaching' area. This is the one spot serenity and harmony comes together with happiness. Enjoyable for the whole family. Even the dog! Kudos to Pasco for keeping this one from the crackheads. (Just laugh; was a 😂)

This is a great little park to launch your boat from. 6 ramps in good condition and easy backing with a lot of parking (you might have a longer walk during busy weekends) but better than finding out there is no parking after you launched and paid your fees. They're is a little beach on the river, not quite as nice as Fred Howard park but parking is free here for the pavilions and beach. Lots of shade tree to help beat the heat in the summer. Krewe tip: the park goes in a circle, rather than park up front when you just get in, go about 3/4 of the way around and there is better parking and your closer to the pavilions and water. Mark as helpful or give us a thumbs up and follow us on Instagram @AdventureKrewe

Very nice small cozy beach. Lots of parking under trees or in the open. Lots of picnic tables and room to throw or kick a ball or just relax. The sand is gorgeous and clean. Lots of pine and oak trees. Small and medium boats go by every few minutes not far from the shore. I highly recommend for those with small children or if you want a quieter, more peaceful place rather than the larger, more crowded beaches. $5 to park. No pets.

I love to go there in the evening to just relax and watch the sunset. Is never crowded especially Monday thru Friday,the weekend is different story but still is not crowded like the Beaches closer to the park. U can relax ,read a book, do a picnic, BBQ,etc. Security is a Plus cause rangers and county police are always checking the park out. I recommend it to anyone who loves nature.
