Little Tigertail Island

Little Tigertail Island is best known by the many movies that have shot there and its fine location in Homosassa, Florida. Named after the tiny bird that flitters across its miles of endless beaches, the island is one of the top tourist holiday spots outside of Miami.

The island is very flat, covered in low lying bushes and surrounded by miles of sand. Waters around the island are very shallow, warm and perfect for children to play in. There are many spots where visitors can park right up along side the beach, far from crowds, yet open and unprotected from the sun that shines across this portion of the ocean.

The island has numerous tall hotel complexes that straddles its one side. Like vast apartment blocks, these lodgings provide all inclusive holidays for people from across the globe. Access to the beaches is immediate and the opportunity to find solace is just a beach walk away.

Activities on the island are numerous. The most popular includes sea kayaking and volleyball. It is not uncommon to see a good mile of empty beach before running into a party of beach lovers, a beach ball and/or Frisbee.

Because of the general isolation on the island, many trails and scenic stopping areas are popular with honeymooners. Elderly people especially love the quiet and the ability to hear the waves crashing on the sand nearby. Kids like it for its neverending supply of sand and surf. Little Tigertail Island is an isolated oasis in the middle of one of Florida's top destinations.
