This park has a beautiful 4 mile walking trail that ends on the beach that is covered in beautiful driftwood and thousands of shells. We ended up on the beach part during high tide, so we all got wet, so if your arent prepared for that, planning is necessary. Otherwise it was a wonderful park. We even saw 3 turtles on the trail.

I havent been to this beach since I was a kid, just awesome!

This is a quiet park for people who simply want to get away from the noise of the city. The entrance fee is $5.00 per vehicle and RVs are welcome but there is not a lot of room for more than three small RVs under 24 feet. Anything larger, especially a class A model takes up a lot of the parking spaces. If you arrive early you can pull up to the side away from others.This park is popular for bicycling. The trees provide much shade when riding but you still might want to arrive before the heat of the sun kicks in.There were a couple of families on the beach with their children and a few people fishing. It was not very crowded at all on the beach and there was not a life guard on duty.The pavilions were closed but there were about ten picnic tables on the parking lots. You can park your car next to a table and have a picnic right next to your car.If you have binoculars you can gaze across the ocean and observe the sailboats. But if you are a bird watcher this is not the park for that. Big Talbot Island, which is a couple more minutes up the road, is more condusive for bird watching.When it is really quiet, you can hear the sounds of many land creatures, and of course the sounds of waves.I would recommend this park for a short couple hours of getaway time and definitely for bike riders. If you are looking for a lot to do this is not the park for you.

My first visit to the big pine trail for a casual bike ride. Its all asphalt, paved the width of a wide sidewalk. Its pretty curvy and meanders through open wilderness, wooded areas, and has a stretch of boardwalk along the highway with water views on the opposite side. Very pretty.Traffic noise is prevalent due to its proximity to the highway, but the scenery kind of makes up for it. Its a heavily trafficked tourist spot, so parking on weekends is limited and you have to dodge family groups using the trail as a sidewalk for sightseeing. Its not super crowded, but be prepared for pedestrians to be blocking the full width of the sidewalk at times and not know what on your left means. I had to come to a stop a couple times. At one point a woman was sitting on the ground playing with her toddler blocking half the trail width. Just be prepared. If you speed bike, this is not a trail for you.

Really great for bird watching. If you go to the dock in the early mornings depending on time of year youll see a large variety of wading birds including roseate spoonbills. The wooded areas between campsites are also filled with woodpeckers, warblers, thrushes, Chickadees and titmice you just need to sit for awhile and let your eyes follow the songs to find them . The beaches are also great for laughing gulls, brown pelicans, willets, ruddy turnstones, sanderlings, royal terns and sometimes even a Caspian tern. There were even a pair of oyster catchers nesting there in 2019.

Very well kept grounds. Nice people. Excellent place to relax, no hassles. Good kayaking!

Miles of wild beach. Easy to find a private spot. Lots of nature, wildlife, wildflowers, gopher tortoises, etc. The ranger said theyve lost 100 feet of beach already to sea level rise. The high tides are up into the sea oats and dunes. Ive been coming here for 35 years. Seeing the trees die/dunes disappear and knowing whats in store with climate change is a little sad. But beauty and wild energy is what Little Talbot is all about. Come explore here! Outdoor showers, changing rooms, and picnic tables. Bring drinking water.

So much fun. You have to hit all 7 state parks in the area. Get a map from Little Talbot and enjoy exploring. I love the beach with the dead trees.

Another very nice Florida State Park. Bathrooms and showers were great. Ranger that checked us in was accommodating.

I absolutely loved this place

Nice place! Excellent place to relax and fishing!

Nice walk on the beach great place for shell hunting we found 2 full Sand dollars and many pieces of sand dollars

Loved this beach. Stopped for a quick visit on our way out of town. Worth it.

Little Talbot Island State park is not little. Its a huge bike riding, beachfront, fishing, picnic having kind of place. Every turn gave glimpses of old beach front Florida. The birds were in abundance and variety. If youre a Florida State Parks enthusiast, there are 7 in close vicinity to each other. Great place to just chill and get your mind right.

This place is truly nature at its best nice bike trails beautiful untouched non-tourist Beach campsites are nicely setup and secluded plenty of privacy the shower houses are cleaner and nicer then some hotels Ive been to they also have washer and dryer at the shower house to do your laundry I would recommend any Outdoorsman to come spend a few days here and soak in everything this little piece of Florida has to offer Rangers are very nice they also have bikes for rent on an hourly or daily basis truly one of the nicest parks Ive ever been to and Ive been to a lot

My daughter had a field trip for school and she loved it.

Beautiful, quiet, well maintained park. Clean bathroom, nice picnic tables, plenty of parking spots. Great place to relax.

A group of 4 of us (all women) stopped here on our way to Amelia Beach from St. Augustine and it was so beautiful. Theres a long boardwalk that takes you out to the beach. We walked the beach looking for shark teeth and we ended up seeing a couple of dolphins swimming and jumping out in the ocean. It was just a really nice area with decent bathroom/changing facilities as well. It does cost $5 to get into the park, but it was worth it. And we only stayed for about an hour.

So beautiful and quiet place

My favorite place to take the kids swimming. Low tide is awesome because of the small pools it creates. Perfect for little ones! Also a great place to find sand dollars.

Perfect experience for the kid. Great place for family and friends.Iv been to beaches in 8 States. By far the best yet

Spent the day here with the family. Beach was not crowded. Picnic area was clean and there are pavilions to eat under so you dont burn up while eating Not a bad walk from the parking area to the beach. $5 entry per vehicle with 6 people. Will come here again.

A really wonderful beach. We saw a turtle munching on grass, birds skimming the water with their beaks open to eat bugs, and lots of shells. The dunes are very pretty and the beach is really long so perfect for long walks and having a private area to relax. When the tide is part way up, a shallow area of warm water is created that is very fun to walk or splash about in.

We had a great day on a absolutely beautiful day recently. Youll get your walking in but its well worth it.

DOES NOT CLOSE AT 6 PM. Drove all the way up only to find out they close at 5 PM. Super frustrating and disappointing.

Had a good time exploring

This so far is my favorite beach in Jacksonville. While there were a good amount of people, you can walk for miles without encountering anyone. Options for camping.

A favorite state park campground. Definitely want to stay again

Although everything I read said the the campground was on the beach, it was not. It was actually quite a ways away. As far as walking goes. Never made it over to the beach. But the campground was cool

Very nice quiet camping .. clean bathrooms..Amazing beach.

Good little retreat. Reminds me of St Augustine beach with the shells on the shore.

A wonderful spot.My trip here was short as I continued south but the staff was certainly helpful with accommodations. I knew I was going to arrive late and they helped ensure my arrival would be seamless. I enjoyed the tree coverage and being away from the highway, but didn’t explore beyond a single nights rest.

This was such a relaxing afternoon. Parts of the beach have a dip along the shoreline so you can sit in water and not be hit by the waves to search for shell treasures or just soak in the atmosphere. The water was a fabulous temperature in June. We only spent a few hours because we got hungry so bring snacks, drinks, and food if you plan on spending the day. There arent any restaurants within a distance most people might want to walk.

Fun beach area! Lots of seashells and warm water. I would definitely reccomend checking your GPS before leaving as there is only one road to Talbot. If there is an accident or any road work traffic can be backed up for quite some time. Parking is $5.00 and the park closes at 8:45 PM. There are changing areas, bathrooms, and a place to shower off.

Great little island. I have camped there multiple times. I enjoy shelling, bird watching, kayaking in the tide screams and walking the trails. The wildlife is fun there to. I enjoy the campground alot!

Beautiful day! Hot, but nice!

We had a flat tire on the way there and werent sure if we would make it to check-in to the campsite on time. I called and spoke to Wade, and he was very helpful while answering all of my questions. I cant wait to get there with such amazing service before we could even get there! Thank you Wade!

This is a great spot for exploring! Theres plenty of beach area to walk around and explore, picnic pavilions, bike trails, and clean bathrooms. Lovely camp ground for small trailers or tents. Camp near marsh, fishing and kayak launching or ride your bike to walk on the beach. Only 10 Miles from Amelia Island’s beauty, shops and restaurants. Full hook ups, fire pits and bath house. Avoid in mosquito season but can’t do better in shoulder months. A fav

Hey everybody if you got kids what state park is Alyssa come up there and go camping cookout having a little bonfire and just have a full-time having fun I know we did my kids loved it and they wanted to go back again so were going to try and see what we can do maybe Ill see you there

Great, huge, natural beach on A1A north of Jacksonville. Easy to find, I have seen the parking lots full during summer peak times, especially holidays. Lots and lots of room for stunning, exploring, surfing, fishing etc. $5 per normal car. I really enjoy just walking the seemingly endless beach, shelling and watching the waves. Open year round. No life guards any time of year. Currents can affect swimming.

Really nice beach. God for pictures. They have some good long bike trails as well.

Peaceful place, great find!!

Great place to visit. I highly recommend. Ny kids and me love this place. You get access the beach from a boardwalk or thru a trail thru the woods. We always find tons of sand dollars.

A place to relax by the beach. If you arrive early it looks deserted and you can take the bike to the sand and ride near the water. Nice experience

We love little Talbot island. Great place to go for a swim, fish, or got shell/shark tooth hunting. They have grills and picnic tables plus camp and RV sites if you want to stay overnight. The entrance fee is very reasonable.

Beautiful park...the beach, the hiking trail and even the wildlife you see around. There are gazebos available and grills. Restrooms and showers available as well and well maintained compared to other parks and beaches Ive been too. Plenty of parking spaces.

I had an amazing day at Little Talbot Island. I was celebrating my 40th Birthday with family and friends and it was awesome. I will definitely go back. The weather was awesome and the park was awesome.

Camped here for a night and although it was a quick trip, I definitely would recommend this spot. Its a beautiful location and all the sites are well maintained and easy to access. The only downside would be that the spacing between spots is limited but we went at a very crowded time of the year so Im sure its normally not much of an issue.

Beautiful place for family to enjoy nature in a nice quiet setting. I would not recommend swimming especially young children. The place has a really bad rip current. Great place to fish collect seashells/sharks teath or enjoy long beautiful scenery Also great place to camp excellent for pictures no Boardwalk no stores secluded off A1A recommended for families you can rent bikes for trails throughout the the park. They also have excellent bathrooms/showers with running water. The park charges an entry fee. Adjacent parks are big tablet Island less than 5 miles away. Beautiful place if you visit or live in Jacksonville Florida a must see

Beautiful place $5 a van to get in for full day use. North beach pier 1 open. 2 bathhouses one near an elevated over the dunes beach access. This one has an AED on the wall next to the men’s bathroom. The other bathroom is on the other side of the parking lot, and it has a sand walk roped area to get to the beach. There are millions of sea shells!! It’s a beautiful beach to spend a relaxing non tourist day! There is a drink machine right behind the ranger building that takes cash and credit cards.

Came here for a forms clinic and it was a stunning backdrop while we worked out.

Fantastic place to camp. Most sites are shaded. Clean large boathouse. The beach is one of the beach in Florida. You can walk first miles and not see anyone. The shelling is great also.

My family and I absolutely loved camping at Little Talbot Island! This was our first time camping here and is now on our top list of favorite Florida State Parks to camp in. Site #40 is AMAZING!!! Its on a little bend with only one other campsite diagonal from it barely in view - no neighbors on either side of behind. We felt completely secluded and private - LOVED! Its also right next to a nice little trail. Some other camp sites looked really small and not much privacy but #40 is perfection. Its a small campground but beautiful and well maintained. We biked across the road (almost 2 miles) to the beach side of Little Talbot - beautiful beach! Fernandina and Amelia Island are a short drive away if you want some entertainment, shopping, restaurants, etc. The rangers at check-in were very welcoming and friendly. The bathrooms were clean. Overall, extremely happy with our stay here and will definitely be back.

I have been coming to this beach since I was a little girl, and now enjoy bringing my own kids. This place is one of the last unspoiled beaches and a true treasure and should be treated as such. Beautiful, pristine, uncrowded. There are showers and bathrooms for changing, grills and a few covered pavilions with picnic tables.

Little Talbot Island was our families first tent camping experience. Everyone was so helpful we rented bikes from the ranger station. Peter the campground host was very informative and friendly. All of the staff at the station were very accommodating and informative about all the activities we wanted to do. The beach was the most clean and beautiful we had ever seen. The campground was clean and the sites were perfect for tent or rv camping. We will be back with family and friends next time! I highly recommend this state park!

Miles of beautiful beach to walk

Lovely place. But leave before dark because the mosquitoes dont play.

Beautiful untouched beach

Great park clean restrooms,friendly staff, this will be one of my regular places to stay. We camped in a tent. 6/2019

What an amazing park. The water was pretty chilly but its February so thats to expected. The beach sand is nice and soft but there are shells everywhere so walking barefoot was a little rough. Also be careful of walking off the sand or walkway, there are little prickers everywhere that hurt pretty bad in the bottom of your feet. Founds several sand dollars and lots of shells. If you like shelling spend some time here, you wont be disappointed!

Nice Clean Park, friendly staff, and lots of picnic tables! However, Im a little disappointed in the womens bathrooms. The doors are hung higher than the toilet its self. That is unacceptable and a very easy fix.

Beautiful beaches, nice wildlife! Definitely coming back!

Rangers station is also worth a visit for their display inside

I recently visited this state park to look at it as a potential location for my sons upcoming wedding. The park staff were very informative and easy to work with. The park itself was extremely clean, including the bathroom facilities. They have a number of pavilions that you may rent for a low $50 fee for the entire day. The beach itself is gorgeous and is a nice change from the overcrowded Jacksonville beaches area.

Riding the bikes was a workout but we enjoyed it. The trail was so peaceful. Friendly staff, great customer service.

Quiet mostly .. nice family beach.

Peaceful....no crowd.... many birds to see...

Walk North.All privacy you could ever want

Beautiful driftwood beach. A bit of a walk to get down to it, but absolutely worth the effort.

Beautiful beach and trails. Lots of treasures on the beach, especially at low tide.

Its a nice place to take your family. They were doing some construction work when we went will go back again.

Great back-to-nature campground and nature preserve. Campground is on intercoastal side and main park and breach acess is on Atlantic. Campground has sites which are smaller, situated among many live oaks. Large RVs will have difficulty getting into sites. Beach is pristine and during the week very few folks are on the beach. Great place to watch nature from ocean to island flora and fauna.

This park was very clean. Had bathrooms accessible not far off the beach. Saw sea turtles, dolphins,pelicans and other wildlife. Water was warm enough for my husband who has Reynauds disease to get in and enjoy the water. The store has ice and other supplies if you forgot something. We will absolutely be back!!

An underrated State Park with a beautiful Beach. Showers and changing rooms are also available for your convenience. We really enjoyed swimming and looking for shells!

Took a while to suss out the different parks and locations. We walked the 4 mile trail on Little Talbot yesterday. Good walking but we were totally unprepared for the mosquito armageddon. Our fault entirely for not thinking so be better prepared than us. Take water and reasonable walking attire as well. Trail clearly marked until you get to the beach. Just turn right and follow your nose until you see people and the path back to the car park. Which is not clearly defined either. It was a hot and humid day, we may have seen more wildlife/nature if we had not been marching to outsmart the mosquitos (which we failed to do). For two 200 bites. Would we go back? Yes, this is nature and we did today. To Big Talbot. Review to follow.

Cleanest bathrooms of any of the state parks Ive been in. Friendly staff

Long wait but definitely one of the best ways to get to the beach in Jacksonville.

Great beach for finding shells. Very clean. Bathrooms on the boardwalk. My only complaint is it is quite a hike to the beach, but not worth taking a star away. Just know you need a different beach if youre not up for walking.

Beautiful well have to come back

Absolutely delightful. Took the family out to little Talbot and we just strolled the day away. We will return. Regularly.

Very niceCost 5.00 per car load to get into the park.There are restroom and nice shelters to picnic.We were disappointed not finding any good seashells at low tide. Still very nice place to walk around

Stayed in December. This place is very unique. Definitely do the 4 mile or so hike that takes you down the beach. If in winter, plan your beach section to walk with the wind, and against the wind while inland. This works out well. Lots to do and see here in all seasons. The campground is very tight. Some spots are way too small and difficult to park, so choose carefully. The road system of the campground needs work. The bathroom near our campsite was an igloo inside due to too much airflow. Overall, this is a cool place and we would do it again.

Great beach with very low volume of people! Cant see any buildings from the beach! Definitely coming back for the serenity.

Love coming to little tablet island state park beautiful clean beach and trails and so many sea life to see very friendly nice clean pick Nick cook out areas and u can have them hold them for partys for free but yes no pets there cause of the many sea life and most people dont pick up after there pets but still a family or single place to go ton to feel nature and have fun

Amazing best hidden jem around

Wow Great park Super nature the water like a mirror clean and Beautiful Having a great time with my friends Highly recommend

It was wonderful revisiting the beach I use to frequent as a child. Beautiful.

Extremely helpful rangers and a very nice price. We camped and walked to the beach for sunrise...AMAZING !

Very beautiful. Peaceful and quiet. Wonderful beaches. And plenty to do in nearby Jacksonville

Do not visit this campground if you value the electronics in your RV. I was assigned site17 and I have a circuit tester and although it did not register any problems with a faulty circuit, the power levels went up and down. My air conditioning was jumping on and off, the cycling up and down, and my batteries were not charging. I called the campground office and they said, oh yes, our polls are at the end of their life cycles and they do have problems with power stability. Currently, Im trying to get changed to another site, but Im not sure if I should plug in my $80, 000 coach to some bad electrical outlets that may damage my electronics and appliances. Beware!!!!!

One of the finest beaches in America. Don’t tell anyone!

Beautiful, perfect beach especially during low tide.

I love this beach. Its where I go to find many seashells. Its a very big beach.

Awesome place, great for fishing. Watch out for the sharks, they like this area also. Mainly at the tip of the island, they feed there.

Nice place, awesome beach even though you are not allowed to swim

DisappointedGreat place to relax But there is one problem with the park rangers , instead of checking for people drinking on the beach they are bothering customers for minor things like:Today October 6th at the end of my reception one of the Park rangers picking trash comes to me with an high level attitude telling me about the trash bags been on the recycle bins ,ive told nicely to this racist white man with a red beard that ive will correct the mistake and taken it to the big dumpster but the angry man insist in continue arguing with me while my guests saw his angry attitude .Is this how they thread customers while we paying their salary?Would i go back or recommend the place?NO.

Great place to go. Enough room to take the kids so they can run around without bothering other people.

Beautiful beach area. Wish I had more time to explore the more private areas. It was not super crowded even though there was a lot of traffic going in.

Nice beach, love going out there. Clean.
