This peaceful 1260-acre park, a barrier island, is graced with nature trails, swimming beaches and wildlife, including foxes, coyotes, snakes, seabirds and alligators (fear not: gators live in freshwater, and the swimming areas – including the kiddie pool's 4ft-deep water – are in the ocean). On the beach near the jetties, you can still see the circular cannon platforms from when this area was used as a military reservation during WWII.
Excellent waterfront campsites are available year-round for $28, although sites will be limited through 2021 due to damage from 2018's Hurricane Michael.
