Fodor's Review:

One of the most scenic spots along the Gulf Coast, this 2,220-acre park is composed primarily of untouched Florida woodlands within the Coastal Lowlands region. It also has salt marshes, rolling dunes covered with sea oats, crystal-white sand, and contrasting blue-green waters. The park has facilities for swimming, fishing, snorkeling, and camping, and there's an elevated boardwalk that winds over the dunes to the beach, as well as walking trails around the marsh and into the piney woods. An interesting sight is noticing that since the dunes shift frequently, the bushes you see are actually just the tops of full-sized slash pines and Southern magnolias. Even if you are just passing by, the beach here is worth the stop. Thirty fully equipped cabins are available for rent.

  • Cost: $4 per vehicle, up to 8 people
  • Open: Daily 8-sunset
