Compact coastal scrub preserve with sandy trails, scrub oaks, saw palmetto and seasonal wildflowers — good for intimate nature compositions, close-up plants, and small wildlife (birds, lizards, gopher tortoises). Easy roadside parking at Southwinds Dr, no fee; trails are short and mostly flat. Best light: early morning for soft side-light and active wildlife, late afternoon for warm tones. Bring bug spray and low-profile footwear; respect habitat and stay on paths.
