Vibe
A quiet oasis that’s never packed. Epic sunsets, white sugar sand and one of the most pristine stretches of beaches in the world make Delnor-Wiggins a favorite for beach lovers of all varieties.
See, feel
At Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, the mile-long beach stretches against the Gulf of Mexico, laden with pure white quartz sand. Palms provide a tropical backdrop. In this natural paradise, you’re likely to see beachgoers soaking up the sun; kids wading in the emerald waters; and folks combing the sand for kitten paws, olives, whelks and fighting conchs. The water is normally calm, but can occasionally be rough due to winds, tides, and offshore systems. Remember to stay out of the water at Wiggins Pass, which is off-limits due to dangerous currents.
On or near the beach
Cool off with a swim, or enjoy a stroll with the sea breeze in your hair and your toes in the sand. Make sure to keep your eyes peeled for seashells and sand dollars. Paddlers can launch their own kayaks, canoes or stand-up paddleboards to discover Water Turkey Bay, journeying through a mangrove trail, under bridges and through Wiggins Pass into the Gulf of Mexico. The launch area for boaters is easily accessible for most vessels. Anglers will appreciate the plentiful underwater population, with fishing opportunities for trophy catches. Here’s a list of things to do in the park and more details.
