Taking a boat trip from the Cortez fishing village just beside the bridge leading onto Anna Maria Island up through the intercoastal waterway and across to an uninhabited islan just north of here. The island lies to the south of Clearwater and north from Anna Maria island and used to be used as a fort. The remains of the fort are still visible and it is the perfect spot for exploring and picnics on the beach. Sometimes we take along a small grill and cook out - cold beer or spritzers and freshly grilled burgers - sitting in the sand in the sunshine. My idea of heaven!
