Little Talbot Island State Park | Florida State Parks

Safety Updates

Florida State Parks will follow local orders requiring facial coverings or masks to provide for staff and visitor safety. These requirements vary from area to area. Our main priority is the safety of our guests and staff. We will continue to review operations on a daily basis and make additional operational changes as may be deemed necessary for protection of public health. Please review individual park pages for specific information for each location.

Limited Access and Campground Closure

In order to ensure staff and visitor safety, the south end of park and the campground are closed due to the effects of a storm. DEP is assessing and repairing the damage at Little Talbot Island State Park resulting from the recent nor’easter. At North Beach, Boardwalk #2 remains closed due to compromised shoreline access. Boardwalks #1 and #3, however, are open and accessible to the public. The south end of Little Talbot remains closed as the well is being capped due to its proximity to the shoreline. Drilling a new south well is currently planned at the south beach, as are adjustments to north beach accesses. Reopening these areas will begin as soon as possible once conditions are safe to do so.
