Dangling like an anchor into the waters of Tampa Bay, Mullet Key is known to the world as Fort De Soto Park, home of a rare find: unspoiled Suncoast beaches. I’m sorry to report that this quiet natural destination may not remain so for very long. Take a look at the plans for “improvements” on the Pinellas County Government website. They include a 225-seat restaurant and rentals of beach chairs and umbrellas, among other plans. I must concur with columnist Howard Troxler in the St. Pete Times that this beautiful natural destination does not need to be “upgraded” in any way. And if the plans go through, you won’t find the peace and quiet out there you’ll enjoy on a journey right now. So, in the interest of one last look at a relatively unspoiled corner of Pinellas County: hike it now!
