Great “hike” and adventure with the kids. We always encounter local insects, and crustaceans for the kids to observe. The fallen trees environment on the beach is like no other. A great way to preserve the natural history and have visitors come and enjoy the scene.

Beautiful views. Having a hard time finding beaches that permit dogs. The beach wasnt crowded; only saw two other individuals. We walked Gunner on his leash just to the water and back. He had never been to a beach. He was thrilled

This is one of the most unique places in North Florida. In the early 70s, I used to play on this beach as a kid. Back then, it was an inaccessible wilderness; now its a state park. When timed correctly - the tides are treacherous - wed wade out unto the oyster beds and gorge yourselves, with the aid of screwdrivers wed pirated from my fathers tool box and hot sauce from my mothers kitchen!

I was there for the sunrise, and what a sunrise it was. I will share the prove and other picks from this outing.In addition to a nice sunset, I discovered that people likes to come over for photo shutting s and who can blame them.

Such a unique and surreal location. The trees slowly make their way to the water walking across the sands over a period of years, slowly decaying and twisting to the whims of Mother Nature. A must see in Jacksonville.

Great place if you enjoy going to the beach but not for swimming purposes as there is no swimming allowed here. Was a nice location to get out into nature and disconnect from the city. Really is like a boneyard with dead trees scattered all over the shoreline. My kids enjoyed climbing all over those trees. I personally didnt enjoy this spot so much since I really love being able to swim when Im at the ocean however, it was nice to see something different and escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a bit.

Get ready for a hike through the woods it is an adventure to find the secluded location. Its a long walk

Terrific for family hikes. We had a 65 year old and a 3 year old with us and both were able to easily navigate and enjoy the hike.

Beautiful scenery! I like it during winter season coz no mosquitos flying around to suck your blood.

Took a stroll to the beach access on the Shoreline Access Trail and it was gorgeous. The tides were too high for us to get far down the beach but the huge driftwood trees are a sight to see. Its really amazing. I wanna go again when the water level isnt so high and the tide is farther out. Would recommend!

Its very big and very pretty. There were barely any other people there. Excellent during winter. Especially during a day with clear skies.

It is true Mother Nature! Beautiful, cozy and fabulous picture ops!

One of the hidden gems of the Jacksonville coastline. A quiet and secluded beach, perfect for sand play. Not a beach for swimming, but you can still get your feet wet.

Its a very surreal beach, not the kind of beach you want to spend a day at or get into the water, as it is brackish. But it has amazing photo opportunities. Its best to visit at low tide!

This place is good for photography. Portrait photographs will really come out good. Ive tried a few shots here but not portrait. Will definitely re visit this place to capture some good portrait photographs. Ive uploaded a few pictures that were edited in lightroom. A really good place for professional photographers.

Perfect place to spend the day! Bike and walking trails, sheltered pic nic tables, beach access...what more could you ask for? This park also has a campground and boat ramps, and Amelia Kayak is down the road.

Nice place thats somehow unique. Have to hike a little to get to the Beach access from the parking lot, but has good views with downed trees with their roots all dried up. No swimming at this beach though

Ive been here a few times and I plan on visiting again and again. Its a very unique beach. Great for a walk on the beach, fishing, swimming, a picnic and photography sessions. Plenty of wildlife and fresh air and less foot traffic than other Beach.Be careful about picking up seashells. I picked up a shell to check it out...it was somebodys house. Oops.

Amazing and unique beach, rarely a crowd. Got married here and it was beyond perfect! Note the tide times as the entire beach is underwater at high tide!

Awesome beach you cant swim but great to walk on and take pictures not a lot of people and plenty stuff to see you can walk the trail besides the beach or you can walk down and walk along the beach. The trails are fairly long but definitely worth it

What an incredible place to spend some time! I enjoyed viewing this boneyard beach, a must if you are in the area. Campground nearby and great trails through the woods.

Beautiful beach area with stunning scenery! Parking is $3.00 and the park is open until 8:45 PM. During high tide this beach may be completely under water so make sure to check that before you go. Swimming is also not advised for this beach.

Beautiful and natural beach. A great place to watch the sunrise from.

Great place to have a wedding

Very fun little area if you are looking for a unique beach or water experience. Must be seen to understand how great an afternoon could be here.

Always love this place!

Fun magical beach..

Very interesting place. Erosion has brought down the trees and they now stand like big driftwood. Great for photography and kids climbing.

I came here looking for an EarthCache but I was blown away by what I found. The dramatic downed trees in the beach were stunning and moving in a strange way. Looking at the live trees waiting their doom near the edge got me thinking about the passage of time and the way things around us change on their own timeline. A highlight of our trip. $3 honor system parking. Portapotties. Bike trails. Great place!

Great place for a Wedding. #2brides, #rainbownotaryandnuptials

Beautiful place to explore a unique picture of nature.Be prepared for a little hike down the sand dune to get to the beach.

Amazing dead oak and cedar trees... And an occasional Palm tree. Ive never seen the trees look so beautiful. A very beautiful experience. Make sure you go when the tide is low

Part bird sanctuary, part human sanctuary. Its a wonderful place to stroll, enjoy nature, and find serenity now!

Even though it was a cold, windy and rainy day, we enjoyed visiting this spot on Big Talbot Island. It was hauntingly beautiful. We are eager to visit again when the weather is a bit more cooperative.

A must see. A small trail to get to it but nothing difficult.

Great driftwood beach to explore and take photos but not very easy to get on to.

Absolutely stunning location. Ospreys, egrets, herons, terns, pelicans. You name it, its there. Magical place. Love it.

Incredible driftwood, very cool place to walk and take in the scenery.

Such a cool place. When we first got to boneyard beach it felt spooky but after awhile the surroundings were one word .. spectacular !!! We walked the path to the beach and thoughoughly enjoyed our time.

Beautiful place. Just be careful wading in the water for stumps and rocks.

Best place to clear your mind

Great low key beach, little bit of a walk from the parking area

The beauty of this beach is in the solitude you feel as you examine the water-worn bones of trees while watching the osprey dive in the gentle waves. The constant wind is in contrast to the peaceful water.

You cant beat this place for a great hike, beach visit or just marveling at the amazing boneyard made from trees.

Very unique beach. Turn at Buccaneer Trail, there is a self pay kiosk, a good amount of parking in a circular drive. Can park and ride the paved bike trail from here as well. There is an overlook at the parking area, but access to the beach has been fenced off due to erosion. But no worries its a short trail through the woods to the beach. Bikes and dogs allowed on the trail. Hard packed wide trail. No dogs on the beach. the longer you look the more you see when exploring the trees on the beach!

Awesome piece of paradise!!! Feels like a prehistoric beach. Enjoyed a wonderful picnic on the beach with the kids!!!

Really cool place and fun for everyone

We go often. Great place to walk and enjoy nature.

Nice escape from the normal beaches with skeletal trees littering the beach and slowly eroding away. Connects to the other trailheads and beaches of Big Talbot Island via the paved Timacuan Pathway. Entrance fee is $3 per vehicle and on the honor system. The Shoreline Access Trail is a 0.3 mile sandy and flat trail through the woods out to the boneyard beach and bluffs.

Wonderful spot to get into the water, or just enjoy the scene!

Really neat place. One of the unique beaches in NE Florida.

Fun place to see a lot of drift wood!

Its an Instagram worthy spot. Not sure if it is OK for swimming but I have seen people fishing all the time.Good place for your photography session.Beware, there are no rangers present.

Awesome raw beauty

Beautiful with all the trees on the beach.

The driftwood is what made me decide to come to this beach. It was so beautiful. It’s a perfect place to have photoshoots. When I went, I actually had a picnic on one of the fallen trees and there were a few people doing photo shoots. The wave were very strong so I didn’t get close to the water. They have signs up saying it’s dangerous to get in but it was still so nice to sit and enjoy the view and the sound of the waves crashing. If you come while the sun is about to set, I recommend bringing bug repellent. A lot of mosquitos.

This beach is very cool! We were biking in Big Talbot Island Park, and were told the hike to this beach was worth it, and it definitely was. All of the trees are a sight to see.

Great place for family outings and sunrise photography..

Beautiful display of natures wrath.There are three opportunities to park on A1A. The cost of entry is $3.00 and is based on the honor system. Deposit cash only in an envelope and hang the ticket stub on your rear view mirror.This is an historic site dedicated to archeological preservation. Do not dig here or extract or remove anything from the beach.Also, dont climb the sand dunes. Follow designated paths. Use DEET or similar bug repellant. Ticks are extra active this year.

This place will forever be a wonderful place to go to especially for the kids!

Super beautiful beach. Great for photos or just hanging out. Just bring some bug spray for the small trail up to the beach!

Beautiful scenery, no swimming allowed but worth a visit

A unique place to get away from the busy city life. The park is open from sunrise to sunset. Several covered tables are available along with grills. Only portalets are on site. Toilets with running water are available 1/2 mile away at a boat ramp. The beach is covered with dead trees which makes for an unusual scenery. The water is a bit muddy as the shore has areas of clay. A paved bike trail runs right through the park.

Awesome place, great for quiet meditation or just hanging out

Awesome beach with never before seen views.

Its Beautiful out here, our new favorite spot.

Great place very beautiful.

Great place for photo ops!

Do not leave the island without seeing this beach with your own eyes. It’s so beautiful, we shot our Christmas card photo here.

Gorgeous place. A must visit!

Gorgeous beach for photos. If you go for sunrise pictures take BUG SPRAY. We got swarmed by biting gnats...so bad we had to leave.

I love walking the beach and seeing all the unique weathered trees. Great place to take phots and enjoy the walking trails.

Such a cool place to visit. My 10 & 14 year old had fun.

Best hidden secret around!

Long walk to the beach, and the mosquitos were horrible. The views were worth it.

Great beach to walk around in and take great pictures with family.

Terrible place. Avoid as its crowded.

Beautiful place to visit.

Great area to make trip out too, the drive coming in is scenic on a clear day and there are TONS of little inlets to explore. Next time we come were packing a lunch and eating on the quite serene boneyard beach!Must see if you live in Jax.

This park is great for nature lovers. There are plenty of bike trails to ride. The beach is littered with driftwood and you can find a plethora of hermit crabs, fiddler crabs, and blue crabs. The trails are intense in some areas though so bring a walking stick or at least a long skinny one to clear any spiders from your path. Im not a huge fan of this beach for swimming because of all the mud and muck but otherwise, its a beautiful scenic area.

Beautiful snd so unique

Great, Ill be back at a better time of day for pictures.

Definitely listen to the curfew.... the rangers are not there to help u find it way out after closing. With there being one exit from the beach u would expect it to be marked but no..... and the tide comes up so far u are stuck. It was fun being lost for a little while and then panic sets in. Beautiful place to watch the sunset!!!!

Peaceful place with the ocean sound!

This is a nice, quiet place for a walk. My wife and I used to go here all the time. Almost never crowded. I recently returned her cremated remains to the ocean she loved from this spot. It was what she wanted. Who am I to say no? I very much loved my wife and would do anything she asked. I did.

Great experience for the fam!

Nice gem.

I Love it out there. All the dead trees layed over. Best place to sit back and take it all in.

Love the Driftwood. The walking trail is gorgeous. I could hang out here for a nice long beautiful day. Really enjoyed myself and cant wait to come back walk the trails and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ocean and drift wood. Plus plenty of peacefulness with Gaia.

We went at sunrise to see the huge amount of birds bathing in the fresh water pool at the far north end of the park just south of the A1A bridge. There were egrets, herons galore, many water birds and gorgeous rosetta spoonbills. Its about a 1/2 mile on the boardwalk from the parking lot so wear your good walking shoes and bring bug spray and water along.

Always enjoy visiting here.

Cool beach to visit. Lots of wildlife to see. I suggest visiting at low tide.

Beautiful scenery a very nice park to visit and explore the fallen trees that line the beach, great place for kids play

Nice view, worth a quick stop from the bike path or driving down A1A.

It is fantastic. If you want a short trip to the shore. If you can handle a incline down... Your good if not its about 700 yards further. Nice quiet walk...

Great location for photo shoots.

Beautiful spot. Really nice paved bike trails!

Its a 1/3 of a mile from the parking lot to the beach head. Also there is a dune/hill right at the end of the trail head near the beach. This can be a difficult place to trek if your disabled. Wish I would have known before making plans to take photos here. Overall its a great experience.

Amazing beach to go to for a couple hours. It is quite desolate so you are able to enjoy the peaceful beach.

Loved it an amazing sight
