    Fun times as always
    Very fun place to go and hang out for the day. It's only reachable by boat though. Becomes super crowded during the busy season though. Lots of families and singles there enjoying the sunshine. They also have ice cream and food boats but only on certain days of the week/season, I think.

    relaxing
    Beautiful sand beautiful water, plenty of sea shells. Been to the Island twice and booked my third trip before I left the second one. Plenty of space on the beach, you don't have to be on top of each other. Great for shelling or just relaxing with a good book.

    Wonderful Day on a different beach
    Really a terrific day off from the Marco Island beaches. Amazing shelling, plenty of room to spread out, plenty of beaches to walk and enjoy. Take the Hemingway Shuttle for an optimum visit.

    Sand Dollar Shelling Never Disappoints!
    I have been shelling before with Sand Dollar Shelling, but never on Keewaydin Island before this trip. There was a huge expanse of wide open beach with tons of shells. Captain Paul was a wonderful captain and host, and I would highly recommend Sand Dollar Shelling. Make sure you book a trip where Captain Paul is running the trip!

Beautiful Island
Aug 2023 • Family
Rented a boat to go to Keewaydin with our family. It was absolutely breathtaking. Felt like we were on a private island. Water is amazing. Highly recommend!

Private Little Island
Feb 2023
We love bringing friends and family to this private beach island. It's so relaxing and usually has a couple of food trucks and of course Julie's Ice Cream Pontoon. My husband enjoys bringing his small BBQ and grills chicken and hot dogs.

Wonderful place to go shelling
Nov 2022 • Couples
My husband & I FINALLY found a horseshoe conch! We have been looking for one for 3 years! It was a big surprise! My big advice is to watch out for your feet, they will possibly get cut on some of the shells. Be sure to wear water shoes.

Favorite place to walk and shell on Marco Island
Mar 2022
We've been to Keewaydin Island many times over the years, and it's one of my favorite places to take the boat on Marco. So many great memories with my parents, kids, and my aunt and uncle. Great shelling, beach, and views. Such a beautiful, relaxing place to spend time.

Took the "Water Taxi" out & back. Very nice & relaxing trip & time on the island. The only way to go, bring your own goodies & relax. Leave the " driving " to them

Fantastic day drinking and seashell finding experience
May 2022 • Friends
Fantastic sea shell finding and day drinking experience. Found an intact sand dollar and multiple conk shells. People are very welcoming and floating down the inlet during high tide is a blast.
