Avoid These Florida Beach Travel Mistakes | Our Not So Perfect Day on Don Pedro Island

Thanks!

We stayed on Don Pedro last year, January through March, and while we thought we wanted seclusion, it was a little too quiet. There are many beautiful homes on DP, but most stay vacant as owners don't live there. Like us, there were a few renters, but most were just there for a week. DP has some of the best shelling we have ever experienced, but the winds and sand were less than desireable. The ferry, however short the ride, is expensive if you are taking a car across. It is cheaper to take a golf cart, but probably a little more dangerous driving a golf cart in city traffic. Purchasing ferry passes in advance is cheaper, but still expensive, so trips off the island included lot's of shopping and errands as there is no grocery store on the island. It was an experience we won't forget. Just one other note... there are no restrooms on the island except for at the resort and state park, so that prevents wanting to visit the beach just for a day.

We Live on the island full time, LOVE every day and night here. Its Heaven on Earth.

Thanks for this video. Not only did you help me learn about an island so close to me that I wasn’t aware of but you also pointed out some of the glitches that can come with a beach adventure. You’re information is so valuable for people like me who usually don’t have a companion when exploring new places.

oh no you two !!! You did tough it out though!!!! lol !!!! Every saturday morning...my coffee and see what you guys are up to !! lol !!!

The island looks so quiet beautiful and gorgeous, sandwich and pizza looks so good .Thanks for sharing this video. Love you guys.Have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you both for exploring. Love your videos. ❤

Wow! Each video a neater surprise 🥰🥰

Thanks 🙏 greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪🦶

My fave place to hang out 🧜‍♀️🐬

What an adventure, love it

Everything looked so dreamy to begin with, cycling along that peaceful road and then along by the water on the beach. Then the soft trail with spikes seemed less than ideal, can imagine how thirsty you’d get lugging bikes along there, so glad you eventually found water to top up! We have had many days mixed with good and bad decisions and we always analyse what we could’ve done to make it better, either way your experience shared helps others so much! As a viewer this still made for a beautiful and enjoyable adventure to watch so thank you for sharing! ☺️

You were also in Knight Island. Glad you enjoyed our island.

I need to check out this Island, never been there but it looks amazing. 👍

I just wanted to thank you so much for all your videos we watch you regularly but on Our Smart TV App. so we forget to come back to YouTube and comment, so thank you both for such amazing videos on Florida as we are moving to somewhere in Florida next March and your helping us look at all the areas you explore. Cannot wait to say was are Floridians⛱️

It is fun to do that kind of stuff when you are young, great job. You will never forget that one.

Thanks for the tour...I think we'll stick to just viewing this area through your lenses.

Thank God your bikes didn't break down. At least you got to eat a good dinner after all that riding.

Just visited and it was extremely windy on most days here I ate at the only restaurant there and had a pretty decent meal we had the pizza as well not bad. Prices were not bad as well. Stayed on the island for a whole week.

Hi you two wild and crazy kids! I really enjoyed this video. It’s been too long since I’ve been able to catch up. I really enjoyed watching your adventure. Here’s to a great friendship and amazing video! LLWAV!!
