  • What is there to do at St. Andrews State Park?

    Even if you are not a huge fan of being out in nature by yourself, St. Andrews State Park is a beautiful location right off the Gulf of Mexico that offers the chance for bird watching, nature-viewing, walking, swimming, hiking, and shelling.

    We recommend coming here early in the morning to avoid the crowds and have the beach all to yourself. Make sure you wear your bathing suit so you can hop into the bright blue water, go swimming, take your kayak or boat out on the water, or even try your luck at fishing in the crashing waves.

    Other on-land activities include hiking through some of the manicured paths throughout the park, bringing your binoculars to see the various wildlife and marine ecosystems in the coastal area, and tanning on the white sand beach.

  • When should I visit the park?

    Try and get here as close to 8 am as possible so you can nab a parking spot for only $8 and enjoy the serenity and peacefulness of the morning glow before other tourists arrive.
