Playing On Florida’s Gulf Coast With Babies & Young Children: Honeymoon Island

A Different Kind Of Honeymoon

I’m not sure what I was expecting the first time it was suggested that we visit Honeymoon Island while staying with relatives in Florida. Maybe Niagara Falls by the beach? Tons of neon and beach shops and fringed cover-ups? Nothing could be further from the truth.

A Day Trip To Cuba’s Beautiful Playa Pilar

Before I booked I didn’t realize that Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo are essentially just hotel strips. No town, no shops, and no Cubans – except, of course, for those working at the resort. There were plenty of excursions, but with a baby in tow, I prefer to do our own thing on our own time, and not have the worry of throwing a busload of people off schedule. Plus, it’s enough to stay put in a resort for a week, we want to do at least a little exploring by ourselves. So I’m glad I read about Playa Pilar, or Pilar Beach, before we went.

Playing On Florida’s Gulf Coast With Babies & Young Children: Clearwater Beach

He was out jumping waves about 20 feet from shore when I saw the grey fin pop up from the water. The fin popped up and I froze for what felt like an eternity but in reality was probably only half a second. I tried to scream but only a squeak came out. I was just about to try again when the creature the fin belonged emptied its blowhole into the air and I too exhaled, with more relief than I thought possible. It wasn’t a shark 10 feet away from my husband, it was a dolphin. Now I was envious!
