Little Talbot Island State Park

LIMITED ACCESS AND REDUCED CAMPGROUND CAPACITY: Due to ongoing erosion and loss of infrastructure, the south end beach area remains closed indefinitely. The Florida Park Service and its partners are working to determine possible solutions with hopes of reopening this area in the future. At the north beach area, boardwalks No. 1 and No. 3 are open, while No. 2 remains closed. The campground is now open but with reduced capacity due to site maintenance.

With more than five miles of beautiful, white sandy beaches, Little Talbot Island is one of the few remaining undeveloped barrier islands in Northeast Florida. Maritime forests, desert-like dunes and undisturbed salt marshes on the western side of the island allow for hours of nature study and relaxation. The diverse habitats in the park host a wealth of wildlife for viewing, including river otters, marsh rabbits, bobcats and a variety of native and migratory birds.

Surrounding surf and tidal streams present excellent fishing for bluefish, striped bass, redfish, flounder, mullet and sheepshead. Other popular park activities include hiking, kayaking, beachcombing, surfing and picnicking. Beachside picnic pavilions are available for use by park visitors and can be reserved in advance for a fee. A full-facility campground is located along the salt marshes of Myrtle Creek. Kayak rentals and guided paddle tours are available.
