If you have a whole day to spare and want to experience a more rugged island experience, I highly recommend taking a Ferry to Egmont Key. You’ll feel like you took a 15 min boat ride to the Bahamas! It’s about $25-$30 per ticket and I recommend buying tickets online ahead of time, and showing up at LEAST 15 min early so you don’t miss the departure!
