Coastal park and preserves featuring mangrove shorelines, tidal flats, picnic bluffs and trails — prime for birdlife, manatees in season, and wide bay sunsets. Best at golden hour (sunrise for glassy water, sunset for colors). Low entry fees; small parking lot near trailheads; expect uneven boardwalks and boardwalk access to shorelines. Weekday mornings are quieter. Tide and wind strongly affect compositions.
