Deer Lake State Park
A small state park beside 30A, with a wooden boardwalk crossing the dunes to a quiet beach and a dune lake.
Deer Lake State Park is small. At its entrance, an approximately 200-metre wooden boardwalk crosses high dunes to the beach, passing rare dune vegetation along the way. The park is named after the adjacent Deer Lake, a coastal dune lake. Few visitors come, making it one of the quietest beaches on 30A, good for watching the sunset or letting children collect shells. Facilities are basic, with only a small parking lot and picnic shelters. Parking costs about US$3 per vehicle, and there are no lifeguards.
