Yes, if you sleep on your boat, there is no permit needed.

We did try and cover it as best as we could. And we marked it. I’m not sure if someone is in charge of sea turtle egg preservation but we left worried about the hatchlings. The eggs were exposed. We covered them with sand and marked it. It was near the end of the shore coming facing towards pass a grille beach. Not far from a green cement pole.

Hi Tom,

Camping is only allowed in the South Public Use Area.

Best,

Hi Ryan,

I have seen great bioluminescence around Shell Key. Here is a great resource for timing your visit for optimal viewing.

Hope this helps!

Hi Karena,

Sorry for the late reply (had some website glitches). Service animals are exempt from the rules. You should have proper documentation with you.

Hope this helps!
