Beaches

Our 42-mile ocean-side playground gives beachgoers plenty to explore year ‘round. Relax in the sun, taking in the scent of salt water and the gentle ocean breeze. Fish from shore, go shelling, or hit the waves for some swimming, kayaking, windsurfing or kiteboarding. It’s just as enjoyable to stay on the sand, too – dolphins play in the surf, an endangered beach mouse lives in the dunes of Anastasia State Park, and every winter rare Northern right whales come here to give birth.
