With a whopping 1,136 acres spread across five islands, this beach park impresses with its powdery white sands, nature trails, and patchwork of mangroves, ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. It's not uncommon to see bottlenose dolphins skirting the shoreline and manatees bobbing up and down in the water. Families should head to the sprawling natural tidal pool on the park's North Beach, an excellent spot for kids to collect seashells and splash around. Those traveling with Fido can explore the quarter-mile Dog Beach, where dogs have free reign over the Gulf's cerulean waters.
