Fodor's Review:

The Talbot Island State Parks, including Big and Little Talbot islands, have 17 mi of gorgeous beaches, sand dunes, and golden marshes that hum with birds and native waterfowl. Come to picnic, fish, swim, snorkel, or camp. Little Talbot Island, one of the few undeveloped barrier islands in Florida, has river otters, marsh rabbits, raccoons, alligators, and gopher tortoises. Canoe and kayak rentals are available, and the north area is considered the best surfing spot in northeast Florida. A 4-mi nature trail winds across Little Talbot, and there are several smaller trails on Big Talbot.

Cost: $4 per vehicle, up to 8 people; $3 per motorcycle, $1 for pedestrians and bicyclists
Open: Daily 8-sundown.
