We have found this is the best beach to visit in the Jacksonville area. It is very uncrowded and unspoiled. You can stroll the beach without running into a massive amount of people. It costs $2 per person which is so very reasonable. There are picnic tables as well as bathrooms. We have found this has been the best place... More

The beach was great, very clean, very low key. The walk to the beach is a long haul, but worth it. The only dislike, was that no pets allowed.

Unspoiled natural Florida beach. One of the best spots in Jacksonville hands down! Excellent beach combing, shelling, exploring.

Tough to put into words such a wonderful state park. Took the 4 mile hike and ended up strolling along what seems to be an endless beach. Well worth the price of admission!

This is a barrier island beach with limited access. If you do not want to walk a long way, 1/4 mile, to the beach itself you well not enjoy this. If you make the walk you will find a wide. flat beach with very few people. Shelling is good and a walk to the north end, 2 miles is rewarding.... More

great beach, beautiful scenery and love how secluded it is. it's great for camping but if you just want to make a day of it, that's fun too. be sure to take some soap/shampoo because there are showers where you can wash off the salt when you're done

We took two preteen boys and had a great time. We rented beach bikes from the rangers and went all over the park with them. We did have day activities - hikes, boggie boarding, kayaking, Segway tours, and a day trip to cumberland island and the st Mary sub museum. We did have almost perfect weather. The beaches are spectacular,... More

Fishing, beach, trails. Lots of things to pass the time with kids. Pick a camping spot on the marsh for best views. Not many sites for large campers and some very low branches. Our 28' travel trailer fits well but it's on the large size for this park.

We had lunch in one of their shaded picnic areas. The bathrooms were clean. The beach was peaceful and pretty. It seemed to be a popular local surf beach. We had a lovely day walking on the beach.

We were not pleased with our original spot. Number #11. It appears that #1 through the teens seem to be smaller and have less privacy. We decided to drive around campsites and write down the numbers of empty slots that we liked. It appears that the more better sites are in the twenties on up. We chose #26 and sure... More
