A compact coastal scrub and pine flatwood preserve with winding trails, sandy hummocks, saw palmettos and seasonal wetlands — great for intimate nature, bird and macro photography. Best light is early morning or late afternoon; weekdays and dry season reduce mosquitoes. Small parking lot at 150 Hypoluxo Rd; no fee. Trails are unpaved and can be narrow; bring bug spray and a telephoto for birds. Quiet local spot with native Florida plants and passerine activity.
