Details
Paddlers have miles to explore in the marshes on guided trips and on their own. Anglers flock here for the mile-long George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier, where the state record flounder was caught.
But it’s the soft thud of hooves on sand that intrigues the most, as this park offers a rare find: a place to canter along the surf. If you’ve dreamed of riding a white horse down a wild shore, here’s your chance! Trail rides must be reserved in advance with Kelly Seahorse Ranch.
