INTERACTIVE MAP

Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park

Bench overlooking beach and tropical scene

Naples      ( 26.272348,-81.826197 )      

Swift tides rolling through Wiggins Pass define the northernmost beach of Naples, a spread of sun-drenched sand at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park within sight of a line of condos that stretch southward.

Don Pedro Island State Park

Shell bed along Gulf of Mexico

Englewood      ( 26.859127,-82.299274 )      

Imagine your own private island: a sweep of bright white sand along the shallows of the Gulf of Mexico. That’s Don Pedro Island, a Florida State Park that is mostly offshore.

Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve

Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park

Beach at Mizell-Johnson State Park

Hollywood      ( 26.056099,-80.113969 )      

With its shores dwarfed at times by the giant cruise ships steaming in and out of Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Dr. Von D. Mizell-Eula Johnson State Park is well-known as a great nearshore dive spot

DuBois Park

Aquamarine waters and coconut palms along a Florida inlet

Jupiter      ( 26.94272, -80.07543 )      1.0 miles

Fronting Jupiter Inlet where the Indian River Lagoon meets the Loxahatchee River, this breezy park has one of the most beautiful waterfronts in the region.

( 28.665360,-81.068458 )      5.6 miles

Econfina River State Park

Landing on a primordial looking river

Perry      ( 30.05942, -83.907114 )      

Protecting nearly 4,400 acres where the Econfina River snakes its way to the Gulf of Mexico through the vast marshes of the Big Bend, Econfina River State Park is well off the beaten path.

Econlockhatchee River Paddling Trail

Paddlers on the Econlockhatchee River

Little-Big Econ State Forest  |  Oviedo
( 28.655233, -81.168373 )      8.1 miles

Two-story mansion under live oak canopy

Santa Rosa Beach      ( 30.365451,-86.120389 )      

Edging a windswept bayou off Choctawhatchee Bay, lush cultivated gardens surround the historic Wesley House, an elegant home built by timber baron William Henry Wesley in 1897.

Biscayne National Park  |  Miami
( 25.452708, -80.195781 )      13.9 miles
