Big Talbot Island State Park is a hiking/biking paradise! Add these trails to your :

🥾 Blackrock Trail: A 1-mile out-and-back trail that leads through a maritime forest with live oaks, pines and saw palmettos to Driftwood Beach, a one-of-a-kind destination covered with black rocklike formations and driftwood.

🥾 Shoreline Trail: Access this trail from the Bluffs parking area and head to Boneyard Beach, where sun-bleached trees create a striking scene.

🥾 Timucuan Trail: Spans 3 miles and features paved and boardwalk sections. If you start at the park’s north end at the mouth of Nassau Sound, check out the boardwalk overlooking Spoonbill Pond, a premier birding location in the region. 🦅🦉🐦
