July 26, 2017We also walked the nature trail. Worth the 1 hour of your time for some history of the area. Staff was very nice and they work hard to keep the mosquitoes in check. more »

April 30, 2017My family loves it here for a walk through the mangroves and the perfect little beach. We are here almost every weekend. Our 2 1/2 year old thinks it's his.

December 28, 2016This is a public park/nature trail with a few displays. It's a very nice trail. See what the natural habitat looks like. Contemplate the impact of Spaniards meeting the native peoples. This place is very nicely laid out with a very walkable trail and nice displays. Multiple access points to the coast and ample parking. For a free experience, this is a very highly recommended place. Oh, if you go up the road you might find cars parked to the side. This is an early entrance. Keep driving forward and you'll see the main parking loop.

April 25, 2017Amazing trails and facilities. No beach, but a great place to put a paddleboard in (Robinson's preserve is also accessible from this launch).
