Love this place!! A bit of a walk to the beach but well worth it. Showers bathrooms and bike paths. Beach has lot of shells and drift wood just do not take any of it because it is patrolled and they will fine you if you are found shelling.

Im from Florida but, moved away. I was just there for a visit and my best friend and I went to Big Talbot. Still as beautiful as I remember. It was raining but, we took advantage of the beautiful surroundings and had fun.

One of the top beach parks in the northeast coast. A wonderful beach full on really cool drift wood. The beach access requires a short to moderate walk or bike ride. Access to the major bike trail along A1A. Entrance fee is $3 per car. Lots of birds watching in the area.

Great park a long walk thru the wood to arrive at a fabulous beach with thrift Woodall along the shore

Incredible beach with beautiful driftwood, lots of exploring and beautiful beaches. Highly recommend anytime of the year.

We love to go walking here! Its a beautiful place to go and enjoy nature. You can see a lot of cool things on the beach including the driftwood, as well as crabs and birds, etc. There are nice paths too to run on our bike as well. Its not the best beach for swimming though as there can be some sharp shells on the bottom, but on the flip side it is nice in that its really calm.

Really cool beach. The driftwood formations are awesome, and fun to walk amongst. Saw lots of wildlife, too.

Beautiful views great exercise on the trail and a great place to spend time with loved ones

One of my favorite places. Shhhhhh dont tell anyone.

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

Great place to hammock for the day! Allows access to many great views and site seeing experiences! Cant wait to to there again soon!

Lovely spot, went to boneyard Beach and enjoyed the sights. it wasnt too crowded but also enough people to feel safe. the parking was 3$ and seemed like a nice place, though I took all my stuff with me

So many beautiful places to walk, the beach isnt a sunbathing beach but its isolation is stunning. A great place to just get lost driving around, hiking, or biking. Just a short drive from civilization, its worth it.

Beautiful park, highly recommend. Never crowded and filled with nature lovers and bird watchers. Just a short trail to get down to the beach and the boneyard - where trees have fallen into the beach due to erosion and are left there until the waters finally take them away. Great area for photographs. Cant swim, too many rocks an trees in water make it dangerous. But ideal for a peaceful walk or a nice quiet day laying in the sun.

Totally different then Little Talbott but interesting. Long path to walk to the beach so keep this in mind but more like an inlet than a beach when you get to the beach. Rocks line the shore line for a little part of the beach. Great walk if nothing else.

Absolutely amazing! Never seen something like this before. My fiancé and I love nature and the world and what she has to offer so we take in the fun things around the places we live. We drove from Daytona to Big Talbot and just enjoyed the Driftwood beach and took some cool photos. The we headed down to Little Talbot and laid out on the beach for a bit. Enjoying the weather and got to picnic there as well.

Its a long, windy walk from the parking area to finally getting to the beach, but its worth it.

Wow!! I’ve been living in Jacksonville for almost 8 years and no one ever told me about this place!! This is awesome!! If you’ve never been here, I HIGHLY recommend you make the trip!! I came out here to take photos for the Florida State Park Photography contest, but I’m bringing my family out here next week!There is a pay fee, it’s $3 so bring cash. There is no swimming at this beach! We are too close to the shipyards and the ocean industries. But it doesn’t matter! There’s so much to see and explore at this beach!! I can’t wait to come back.

We come here twice a year. Its always a good hike and beach scene. Theres only porta potties here so be prepared. A great day out for sure though.

Beautiful place to hike or ride a bicycle! Lovely and well maintained pic-nic facilities in the parking area as well. The famous driftwood forest along shore is one the one the most unique shorelines in the area. The bicycle trail is paved with several small hikes along its length. Beautiful place to visit!

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.

Nice state park. Can hike, bike, and also enjoy the views and the waters

Nice place to stop for a picnic, or a short hike one one of the trails.

Peaceful place that is beautiful. I really enjoy going there

This is a really cool beach with a ton of driftwood and excellent sand-castle sand! We werent able to swim while we were there which is a bummer, but it was a great opportunity to get my kids to focus on something other than the water during a beach trip. Well worth the little 1/2 mile hike to get to it as well. If youre nearby, I wouldnt miss it!

Absolutely beautiful place. Park ranger wasnt so nice when me and my bf got lost, not being able to find the one exit/entry off the beach at 9 at night, instead of him helping us find our way out he got mad that he had to come looking for us and had to stay late for his job. His actuall words btw! We ended up having to climb a dune and jump 2 fenced or we would have slept on the beach that night!! Maybe nicer ranger would have given us a hint where the exit was!! Thx dude!!

Fun place to have fun

Beautiful. Plenty to do-hike, beach, camp, and more. Separate processes to enter the fort, but cheap. Just go!

Great for hiking with a beach at the end of the trail!

Fun place to take kids of all ages. The trees are fun see.

Recommended place for photo shoot

We loved this beautiful place! A hidden gem with awesome things to explore and so much fun for our family!

Cool driftwood & dead trees.Required path to get to the beach is a bit too long, especially when its so hot & humid.

Beautiful area and really different views of the savannas and waterways.

So nice and clean relaxing had an amazing time with family

Not crowded. A great place for photos!

Nice place to visit or camp.

Very beautiful state park.

Very visually cool! The beach is beautiful!

Gorgeous park, a must visit.

Amazing beaches unlike others in Florida. Not commercial and more secluded.

It was wonderful and very relaxing

Beautiful park, good signage, easy parking. Bathrooms were clean. It was a chilly day when we visited, but it was still very worth the visit. Colorful stones and shells along the beach made for beautiful photos and stunning views.

Relaxed beach park with great bike trail.

Love bringing my family out here!

Nice way to spend the afternoon.

Great place for the family to explore nature!

My favourite place to go for Sunrise. Check the tides before going, low and high tides gives different perspectives of the place

This place is an awesome state park. Crazy drift wood everywhere. Illegal to take home btw. Awesome inland trail and can take the beach to walk back instead. Beautiful place to visit.

Great trails, nice beach...gorgeous at low tide. Super helpful state park staff.

Beautiful and peaceful place to enjoy a nice walk or picnic. Great for pictures!

Nice an quiet. Beach does have broken glass and jellyfish so be careful with bare feet.

Beautiful place to visit and take the family.

My favorite spot in Jacksonville. Such a unique and beautiful beach. You can find such peace here. The pictures you can take are also incredible. The walk to the beach is truly not that bad, only about 10 minutes. The kids can climb and discover lots here. I cant say enough how much this place is unique and such a treasure to Jacksonville.

Lots of fun

Amazing place! Love coming here!

Fantastic off the beaten path, hidden gem! The hike to get there is worth the sweat. Quite, calm, peaceful!

I love this place took my boyfriend and his kids here they loved it too

Ranger was INCREDIBLY rude on the phone. Told me off for calling to see if there were open campsites and was extremely sarcastic and condescending. Acted like I was a complete idiot just for accidentally calling the same number multiple times. Go to a Georgia state park instead — rangers there are friendly and helpful to visitors. Won’t be coming back.

This place is beautiful. I am a photographer and frequent this space often with clients. However, I have noticed over the last few years access to the beach has been restricted. A fence has been erected to the main entrance. I just went in September 2017 and now you must hike through a 15-20 minute trail to access an entrance to the beach. The mosquitoes are unbearable in the evening hours heading back to the car.Many people seeking to see the beach with the driftwood get lost and frustrated ( there is no signage) you just kinda have to explore and find an entrance..... many trails will lead to an entrance that only after arriving you learn it has been closed off by park staff.Im not complaining about the access restriction - I am just stating facts for informational purposes.I suppose by making it harder to access they are saving the space for future generations --- as its not uncommon to see people standing touching and laying on the driftwood--- I presume after years of this it has its impacts.FYI its appearance has changed ( not as much driftwood) slightly since hurricane Irma.

So beautiful and unique

If you love trees and white sand this is the place for you!

Love this place. Great photo opportunities and neat places to explore. Whenever we have visitors from out of town, this is a stop.

A tiny hike and youre at one the more unique beaches in Florida!

Small but worth the trek to see.Time your visit with the low tide to be able to visit the Rocky floor formations at each side on the main beach area.

This was the most beautifulest place Ive ever went got family photos done there so going back to do more photos throughout the year

One of my favorite spots to fish.

Had a great time just walking the beach Bone Yard Beach

As a Photographer this is ABSOLUTELY one of my Most Favorite Locations to Shoot never have had a bad photo when I shoot here, Beautiful location so happy to have found this Gem of a Beach

Raw beauty.

Went to Black Rock Beach for a few hours with some out of town relatives. Always a neat, picturesque beach with the driftwood everywhere. Be sure to bring bug spray.

Absolutely incredible! Beautiful beaches , great fishing and the people that frequent are a blast to talk to! The fishing was slow but so was the pace of my day. Highly enjoyable and the day seemed to last forever ! If you decide to visit you will enjoy! Feel free to pick up a few shells and dont forget to pickup trash as well to preserve this beauty (watch out for hooks with fishing line debris)

Great driftwood beach.

Smaller than expected but with interesting beach wood. Make a donation.

Website states open, drove 1.5 hours for nothing. Disappointing.

Awesome! Very unique! Remember bug spray though! Its a must have!

I quickly looked it up online and mistakenly thought it was dog friendly what I didnt catch from the summarized result which says at the top that its dog friendly is that your dog can only be on the trails and not on the beach. The reason for this which is very understandable is the nesting birds. This review is targeted toward going to the driftwood beach portion of the park but the no dogs on the beach goes for the entire Big Talbot Island as I understand it.

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.

Beautiful driftwood covered beach. Be prepared for a bit of hiking, but its so worth it!

Absolutely loved this stop. The trail was beautiful. The Driftwood and ocean scenery was phenomenally gorgeous. I could hang out here all day with Gaia and her amazing creations the sounds, the peacefulness, the ocean, the trails, trees, Driftwood it was all so gorgeous. Cant wait to stop back in for a nice relaxing day with Mother Earth .

My favorite Atlantic beach

An excellent place to escape...

The bluff with limestone rocks under the sand. So amazing!

Great place too fish or just relax

So peaceful and clean. My family and I love going there to hike and relax. Gorgeous driftwood everywhere.

Beautiful. Gave 4 stars because no dogs.

Beautiful beach! Tons of dead trees scattered along the shoreline make it great for pictures or a long adventurous hike. Not really suitable for swimming but you can take a dip here and there to cool off.

Very chilly but well worth it. Make sure to bundle up if colder weather!!! The dead trees here look beautiful and some even look like certain things....like one a spider. Fun day.

This place is beautiful!! We went to take pictures and oh my goodness is was perfect! So much drift wood! I cant wait to take the kids back to show the all the beautiful drift wood! It is a very long walk to get to the beach tho! Just a heads up!

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.

Wow, the fossil bleached wind swept trees are spectacular. Hardened dirt looks like rocks.

Very cool beach experience. Lots of driftwood and it looks like people have been making driftwood Cabanas. Get here early and claim your spot.

Really cool beach with fun driftwood you can climb on. It is great for taking pictures. There are also long bike and walking trails that were really fun.

Beautiful quiet beach

Best East Coast beach Ive been on. The driftwood forest is amazing! Total Zen!!

Always enjoy walking the trails or along the beach. Had been made more easily accessible.

Beautiful beach, nice paved bike path. Worth the long drive.

My family loved exploring Boneyard Beach!

The driftwood here is incredible! Large beautiful pieces!

Amazing
