Blog 7. Lovers Key

On June 12, 2013 Our colloquium class went to Lovers Key Beach State Park for the day. It's one of four barrier Islands and is home to manatees, dolphins, rabbits, and bald eagles. I noticed on the trip that Lovers key isn't really the typical beach that many go to. It's more of a private beach for shelling, picnicking and sunbathing. Besides its beach scene, it also is considered a park for outdoors activities such as picnics, canoeing, kayaking, biking, and hiking. As you pass by the beach you can see Sea Turtles and shorebirds miles along the beach. After a day at lovers key, you can get a piece of the history and natural beauty this location offers.
