Coastal park with boardwalks, dunes, marsh channels and sheltered ponds — ideal for sunrise/sunset colors, reflected water, and migratory shorebirds. Best at golden hour and low tide for exposed mudflats and reflections. Small parking area off Gulf Shores Pkwy; generally free entry and mostly flat, boardwalk-accessible trails. Weekday mornings are quieter. Expect coastal breezes and salt-spray; bring wind protection for gear.
