Fort desoto is very nice, there is a boat launch there, and a large protected area on the inside of the L shape of the island just it case it's windy that day. Not sure I would take a PA out to egmont key though, it's quite a distance to Egmont and can get very rough in the deep cruise ship channel. You can also get to the area around the sunshine skyway from ft desoto, but stay away from the big channel on the tampa bay inlet, It gets pretty hostile there also, all over along the sides are nice lots of little islands, inlets and shallows. The fort itself is also very interesting history. Have fun FE
