I'm happy to report there's no entrance fee and hiking trails available. Stop in at the park headquarters to learn about them all or just check the website. When you tire of walking on the beach, come here to check out another local ecosystem.
This is about 6700 acres I believe. They have a good mid to high handicapper golf course that anyone can enjoy. I personally enjoyed the paved walking/biking trails. If you are lucky you will see an alligator. The trails have distance markers so you do not get farther away than you wish to walk back. Mostly level to gently rolling.
We rented a tandem bike and rode all of the trails. Also highly recommend the nature hike. The naturalists were very knowledgeable. This is a wonderful park.
We came during the off season. The sand is beautiful and white! The sand dunes were a perfect backdrop for some spectacular photos.
Great park, cabins, facilities, beach and lake. We stayed in 2 room cabin near lake with all basic utensils and comfortable beds. You also have several grocery stores within 2 miles from park gate. Walmart 50 yards from entrance. Lots of local food places n outlet mall to kill time. You have zip lines across the lake and access to pier and beach. White sand, clear water n ability to fish from pier.
A great place for any outdoor activity, biking, hiking, or just walking about some of the fiest facilities in the south, the staff are super friendly and the bike trails are really well maintainedHint: morning and afternoon are best for dolphin watching
On a much warmer day......am sure this place would be spectacular.....for so many reasons...including cabins things to do close by including hiking and biking and of course the beach and the water and all it offers.....The park is bigger than I had thought and has lots of areas to explore. From what I saw of this....if you are looking for outdoor fun in the sun ahd sand....and are up to do some hiking.....this is the place.
The park is huge and offers miles and miles of paved trails for walking and biking. The trails also offer benches so one can relax and take a break. Great atmosphere.
I stay in loads of state parks and would like to reassure you , they don't get any better than this.The campground is fabulous.Amazing walking / biking trails, 15 miles of blacktop trails, 2 1/2 miles of pristine white sand beaches, walk to lots of bars and restaurants. Been here many times and will return many times too. Love it. Come on down
Wife and I rode bikes on to the state park and rode amongst the RV camping areas and discovered the park is connected to several excellent biking trails. We spent late morning and early afternoon riding about a total of 20 miles or so riding the paved trails through the woods and camping areas. Would definitely go back just to go riding. Very friendly folks walking and riding on the trails.
