Egmont Key has much to offer to photographers throughout the island. Wildlife photographers who visit Egmont Key typically focus their camera lenses on the seabirds and shorebirds along the island shores. Alternately, historical gun batteries and structures, like the lighthouse, offer a dramatic contrast when capturing the coast and skies of Egmont Key. The island鈥檚 inland trails pose an opportunity for photographers to capture images of gopher tortoises or box turtles.
