Big Talbot Island State Park

Deposit your fee in the blue envelope and pull into the lone parking lot at this stark but lovely park. Take your camera on the short trail to Boneyard Beach, where salt-washed skeletons of live oak and cedar trees litter the white sand, framed by a 20ft bluff of eroded coastline. Magical and wild, and makes you wonder what the rest of Florida must have looked like before the developers arrived.
