Manager's Message

Welcome to Avalon State Park. This jewel offers an unequaled view of the Atlantic Ocean and is the perfect place for you, and that special someone, to take a long walk on the beach or have a picnic at one of our shaded tables. But please keep a lookout for summer storms as they can roll in very quickly.

Sea turtle nesting season is in full swing and we have already noted Loggerhead, Green Turtle and Leatherback nests on the beaches in our area. The sea turtles will be nesting throughout the summer and for that reason we request that our visitors sandbag or weight their tents. Please don’t use stakes. This is for the safety of the sea turtle eggs beneath the surface of the sand. If you are fortunate enough to sight a sea turtle on the beach, please keep your distance. Share the beach with these wonderful creatures.

Come out and enjoy Avalon State Park “…the Real Florida.”

- Steve Eibl, Park Manager

Welcome to Avalon State Park

One of the state's newest seaside parks, Avalon has more than a mile of increasingly rare undeveloped beachfront. The park provides habitat for many species of wildlife. Threatened and endangered sea turtles, like the loggerhead, Atlantic green, and leatherback, nest on the beach during the spring and summer. Dune crossovers protect the fragile dune ecosystem. We welcome swimmers, snorkelers, fishermen and sunbathers for beach recreation.

Swimmers and snorkelers are advised to be cautious of underwater obstacles left behind by amphibious warfare exercises during World War II.

Visitors can enjoy a meal at sheltered picnic tables overlooking the beach.

Located along A1A on North Hutchinson Island in St. Lucie County, four miles north of Ft. Pierce Inlet State Park.
