    New restroom building.
    Linda Q.

    Decided to do a review since all the prior reviews are very old. This is an updated park with new flush toilet restrooms, beach shower station, nice bike racks and a beautiful boardwalk to the beach. It looks like everything was completed within the last few months. The beach is pristine and quieter than others because it is more remote. There is also a short, family friendly and shaded hiking trail across the street from the entrance. The trails winds around in a loop of pines, turkey oak and saw palmettos. Simply a beautiful hike.

    This park is the real Florida. Absolutely beautiful with dunes and views that are a rare find post the condo boom!

    It's my favorite dune lake to paddle…read more The water is usually glassy smooth. I paddle the remote channel among the reeds that leads to the bigger part of the lake. It's picturesque. It's peaceful. I paddle the channel that leads to the Gulf with amazing reflections on the water. I paddle the cove around the private docks. I see crab pots and an occasional gator observing me - an intruder. The first time I paddled here I pulled my board up on the sand and walked over to the Gulf, but when I came back, my board was gone. The water rose very quickly and my board was pulled out into the channel. So I swam out and got it and learned a lesson about how quickly the water level can change. It's all of this, the diversity of looks and the complexity of it, that make it my favorite place to paddle.

    BEAUTIFUL state park. I spent a week in Blue Mountain Beach and my favorite part was definitely…read morevisiting this park. The trails are not crowded and super pretty views. My family and I spent a couple hours at the beach. It is a great place to paddleboard or swim. There is a man-made reef about one or two football fields out. You can get to it by going to the yellow poles on the beach and swimming directly out. If the poles appear to be one you are going the right way, if you can see both poles then you are off course. There was a group of kayakers out there doing a tour when I was there so I swam out and joined them. It was fun but I don't recommend anyone who didn't competitively swim to do that. The waves can be big and a paddleboard or kayak would have been safer. Once you get out to the reef there is so much wildlife. Lots of fish and even sea turtles!!
