We are taking a family vaction with a toddler and infant. I have booked a hotel in clearwater for a week. So I need some suggestions for places to go within about 100 miles radius from tampa bay. I really want to find an empty beach, where it would be pretty much just us. I am into exploring nature areas and staying away from the crowds for the most part.

It is worth mentioning that I am a veiled Muslim woman and am a little concerned about how the locals may react to that in some areas. Should I be, or is it no big deal? Any areas I might want to avoid?

Places I am thinking about going to include the Crystal river area (state park) and Myakka River state park.

What is the scence on honeymoon island state park and caladesi state park? Any nice, secluded beaches there to check out?

Thank you for your input.

Caladesi Island is just that, a secluded island that you can only get to by boat. There is one that leaves off of Dunedin Cswy each hour to the island.

Fort DeSoto Park is huge and beautiful...you can find very serene and peaceful areas in both the East Beaches with great views of the Skyway Bridge, and the North beach area prior to the end areas(parking aloing the grassy areas near the dunes).
