Anastasia State Park
A natural beach and dunes just over 6 km from the city, with a salt run lagoon good for kayaking, paddleboarding and birdwatching.
The state park covers about 650 hectares and preserves its coastal dunes and maritime hammock forest. The beach is wide and quiet, and camping, fishing and surfing are all available. The Salt Run lagoon on the west side has calm water and offers kayak and paddleboard rentals. The park also contains the historic quarry where shell limestone was mined to build the city’s fortifications. Vehicles are charged about $8 per day.
