Red Tide Alert Issued for Gasparilla Island State Park

A recent alert has been issued for Gasparilla Island State Park due to the presence of red tide, following a water sample analysis conducted on December 30.

The health department is advising beachgoers and park visitors to exercise caution while engaging in outdoor activities. It is particularly important for individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, to take extra precautions. If symptoms arise, it is recommended to seek shelter and avoid direct contact with the water.

Local officials are closely monitoring the situation and will provide updates as new information becomes available. Visitors are encouraged to stay informed and prioritize their health and safety while enjoying the natural beauty of Gasparilla Island State Park.
