Unless you are holder of an annual entrance pass, Honeymoon Island State Park will charge a $5.00 admission fee per carload of up to eight people or a single occupant fee of $3.00.
Honeymoon Island State Park is located at the extreme west end of S.R. 586, north of Dunedin.
Roland and his wife, Aminah, will provide sodas and chicken leg quarters; please bring a side dish to share, as well as any other items you would like to barbecue.
Honeymoon Island, acquired by the Division of Recreation and Parks in 1974, consists of 416 upland and 2,400 submerged acres, plus a 22-acre beach donated by the City of Dunedin in 1982, and is considered one of Florida's showcase coastal recreation areas.
Visitors can observe one of the few remaining south Florida virgin slash pine stands along the island's Osprey Trail. These large trees serve as important nesting sites for the osprey. Other important coastal plant communities found on and around the island include mangrove swamps, seagrass beds, salt marshes, tidal flats, and sand dunes.
Honeymoon Island has more than 208 species of plants and a variety of shore birds, including threatened and endangered species. Resource Management efforts include the removal of exotic species of plants such as Brazilian pepper. Ecological burning helps reduce exotic plant life while preserving fire-tolerant native species.
Roland is a bilingual translator who moved from his native Germany to the United States of America in 1996. His education in computer sciences and business administration is complemented by 20 years of business experience, including information security, risk management, change management, ERP systems, system and database administration, and system integration.
He is regularly retained to translate civil-engineering-related topics for U.S. panels visiting Germany as part of the International Outreach Program sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Association of American State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and has accompanied panelists as consecutive interpreter on their German segments.
Mr. Grefer used to serve as a volunteer teacher of conversational German. He is an editor of the SANS NewsBites IT security newsletter, and editor-in-chief of the SANS PrivacyBits privacy newsletter.
