Find a Park

Abundant wildlife and diverse ecosystems can be enjoyed within the 1,600 acres of beaches, tidal marshes and nature trails that make up beautiful Anastasia State Park. Visitors can explore the maritime hammocks, ancient sand dunes and historic coquina quarry before taking a dip in the Atlantic along pristine, white-sand beaches.

Whether riding the waves, strolling the shores or fishing from the jetties, Sebastian Inlet State Park is a beach lover’s paradise. Calmer waters on the Indian River Lagoon beckon kayakers to explore wild beauty.

With the Gulf on one side and St. Andrews Bay on the other, those that crave swimming, snorkeling or surfing will be more than satisfied. Well-known for its sugar white sands and emerald green waters, this former military reservation has over one-and-a-half miles of beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and Grand Lagoon.

Stretching 20 miles into the blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico, St. Joseph Peninsula is a true wildlife haven. Its powdery beaches and bayside salt marshes are nesting grounds for sea turtles, shore birds and the endangered St. Andrews beach mouse.

Named for its tall dunes rising above the emerald waters of the Gulf like a ships’ sail, Topsail Hill Preserve State Park offers three miles of pristine white quartz beaches just minutes from Destin.
