Washington Oaks Gardens State Park
This 425-acre park is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and the Matanzas River. Ocean waves have washed away the sand, exposing coquina rock and creating a picturesque boulder-strewn beach in one section, perfect for exploring tidal pools. This park is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail, and there is plenty to explore on foot or by bike. There are beautiful formal gardens well-known for their azaleas, camellias and roses. Take a break for a picnic lunch, or head to the beach for some sunbathing or fishing. The park has covered pavilions, grills and restrooms.

Flagler Beach
Flagler Beach features six miles of un-crowded, car-free shoreline. There are five public parks in the area - Jungle Hut Road Park, Malacompra County Park, Old Salt Road Park, Varn Park and River to Sea Preserve. All five parks have restrooms and showers. Flagler Beach Municipal Boardwalk and Pier is the local gathering area and features restaurants, gift shops, recreational facilities and beach wheelchairs. Watch locals catch dinner or the surfers catch some of the best waves in the area. Whether you choose to sunbathe, search for shells or turtle watch, this is an ideal spot to spend a quiet vacation.

Gamble Rogers Memorial State Park
This 144-acres park features full-facility campsites, a nature trail, grills, a boat ramp and unlimited access to sun-kissed beaches with warm, golden sand. The area is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west. During low tide, the broad shell-strewn beach becomes a favorite feeding area for many shore birds, so be sure to bring your camera. Dune walkovers provide access to the swimming area while protecting the fragile dune system.
