For as overcrowded as this beach was, it has to be one of my least favorite Florida beaches that I…read morehave visited. No parking spots were available so I had to park on the road and walk a significant amount to get to the beach. The beach was packed yet comparatively smaller than other local beaches. When you get to the beach, it is more dirt and grass than sand and the sand has a muddy, mucky consistency. The only plus is if you have kids that like to catch crabs, there's plenty of places for crabs to burrow which can be fun if that's your family's cup of tea! There is also a little playground area which can be fun for children as well.

The team that maintains the beach and all areas that are connected to it Do a GREAT job maintaining the sand as well as the bathrooms and parking area, as for the guard staff i have never had a problem with them (But i am polite and non-confrontational) and that is what I get back from them, One of the Best events at the beach and is open to all is Easter Morning sunrise service put on by Sprit of Grace church every easter for over twenty years there is over 400 people that come and boats anchor just offshore to be at the service. and it is always up lifting. So, to end it is a GREAT BEACH for anyone that lives in Gulf harbors

I cannot tell you the amount of wildlife we saw. It was absolutely amazing. We saw Osprey and Ibis and tricolor Heron. The list goes on and on. We also saw a pair of osprey in a nest. We also saw a black vulture, a ring, neck, snake and various ducks not to mention a bald eagle juvenile. The water is beautiful. You can walk out on the dock and get a Birdseye view of the golf. They have clean bathrooms and plenty of parking. Bring your sunblock.

Fishing Goals: There's a huge 500-foot fishing pier that's open 24/7. Perfect for catching those sunset views. Cookout Ready: Grab a picnic shelter and fire up the grill! They're right next to the children's playground, so you can eat while the kids burn off energy. Dog Heaven: They have two fenced-in areas so big and small dogs can run wild safely. Nature Walk: Take the boardwalk through the woods--it's super peaceful and leads you right to a small beach area to dip your toes in. The Basics: Don't worry, they have clean restrooms and plenty of parking. Whether you're here to fish, hike, or just soak up the Gulf breeze, this park is a total win.

This was my least favorite park in the area…read more It was very small, didn't have a lot of shade, the restrooms were open air & there is a very creepy industrial plant in the background so the views are not very good either. Didn't see any wild flamingos there. As a matter of fact didn't see any wildlife there at all. As it's really just a dog park with some trails to walk your dogs. Not a great place to take photos. The dog park area is new & very nice thou if you have dogs. There is three different runs sectioned off, one for small dogs, one for large dogs & one for the med sized dogs.

The staff was so helpful - from providing a map and walking through the best path to get to the spring to helping us launch, it was a great experience. You check in downtown and then the walk to the launch area is less than five minutes. Everything you need is at the launch area. This was probably one of the nicest kayaks I've ever rented. The springs was lovely and surprisingly not too packed for 4th of July Weekend.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with genuine smiles, warmth, and encouragement. I was personally a bit nervous since I hadn't paddle boarded much before, but every step of the way we felt supported and truly cared for. Hearing about the family's passion for protecting the ecosystem and the manatees, along with all the helpful tips they shared to optimize our experience, was absolutely incredible. When we got to the dock, we were guided so kindly - Mike even held our shoes in his truck for us! When he noticed me struggling a bit, he took the time to give me multiple tips on how to better move in the water and maneuver the board, which made such a difference. We saw so many manatees, including mama and baby pairs, which was unforgettable. When we returned to the dock and shared how excited we were, Mike went above and beyond once again by recommending another nearby location we could walk to where we ended up seeing even more manatees up close and personal. I would 10/10 recommend Manatee Paddle to anyone looking for an incredible manatee experience. I am so grateful to Mike and his family for making our day so special. THANK YOU!!

We rented paddle-boards for 3 hours to go visit Three Sister Springs at the Crystal River Wildlife Refuge, and it did NOT disappoint! You cannot swim at Three Sister Springs unless you arrive by watercraft as the refuge is protected, so going on an adventure via paddle-board was a nice relaxing way to explore the area. We saw multiple manatees and even got to swim with them when they came in the refuge (SUCH A COOL EXPERIENCE)! The coolest thing about the manatees was how much trust they put in the people visiting their home. There was a mom and calf swimming right up to people, and I thought how cool it was that she put that much trust into her surroundings as to show off her baby. I highly recommend checking out this company next time you're visiting the area!
