A compact coastal preserve with dune habitat, coastal scrub, boardwalks and direct Gulf frontage — ideal for wide seascapes, sunset skies, dune textures and shorebird portraits. Visit at golden hour for dramatic light and vibrant skies; sunsets over the Gulf are a highlight. Small parking lot at 903 Gulf Blvd; easy, short walks on mostly flat boardwalks (good for tripods). Expect beachgoers on weekends; winter brings migratory birds and clearer air.
