Historic coastal fort, rocky shoreline and clear turquoise water offer mixed subjects: 19th‑century masonry, rusted cannons, palm-framed beaches and dramatic sunsets over the Gulf. Best at sunrise for calm light and fewer people, and at golden hour for warm fort textures and silhouetted palms. Small state-park entry fee and limited parking; arrive early on weekends. Easy walk from lot to fort and beach; some stairs inside fort. Snorkeling off the rocks adds underwater opportunities. Respect park
