Find a Park

A unique mixture of coastal and tropical hammock and mangrove forest, this barrier island provides a haven for several rare or endangered native tropical and coastal plant species.

The perfect spot for relaxing at the beach, fishing for dinner or exploring the natural coastal beauty of the area. The shores and coastal waters at this park provide an abundance of recreational opportunities.

Hundreds of manatees make this park their home for the winter, and viewing these gentle giants from the spring's overlooks is a rare experience. The refreshing 72-degree waters of Blue Spring State Park greet visitors at this gem along the St. Johns River.
