A great place to watch vessel traffic on the St Johns River and aircraft in the pattern at NS Mayport.

Beautiful place to camp, fish, beach and just enjoy. Natural environment, they are doing some construction to the roads that have washed out. They have upgraded camp sites with electricity outlets and have added more camp sites on the inlet side. We love this place. You must bring your own food and there are bathrooms on site.

Surfing beach. Beautiful. Not really a family beach because surfers sometimes accidentally can interfere with swimmers due to lack of visibility when surfing. There is however, a wonderful bay area that is great for kids. Picnicking & camping available, but there is absolutely no shade or privacy for camping.

The winter weather is amazing in Florida to visit this campsite. The showers and bathroom are cleaned daily by staff. There is electric hookups and water available. Most sites have fire ring and a picnic table. Some sites are two feet away from the beach. I booked my site two weekends away to reserve a beach site site. I was able to see the Blue Angels and Navy ships across to Mayport from my campsite.

This beach is just lovely. Clean and organised signage that helps direct guests to water conditions. Soft white sand for miles. Highly recommend.

The campground: You cannot sleep in your car.My wife and I decided to cut a long drive in half by stopping here and staying the night. We have a large SUV that can fit an air mattress in the back. We were going to arrive late in the night and leave really early so we did not want to set up a tent. Well this was a problem for the campground. No where on the website when we reserved our site in advance does it say you can’t sleep in your vehicle. When we arrived late that night the security asked if we had a tent. We said no we’re sleeping in our car and they informed us that we cannot do that. We then proceed to ask for grace as we were 5 hours from home and nothing was open at this time. They continued to deny us and told us we could go sleep in the 24 hour boat ramp parking lot down the road. They asked us to leave and informed us we would not get a refund. This was such a horrible experience, I cannot believe this is a rule.The good: the beach is beautiful!

Well maintained drive on beach. They give you fair warning if it is driveable or not even with 4WD. They keep the path packed as best they can, we had zero issue with this last visit. Definitely our go to beach since 2016! So 4 years of fun in Jax. There is plenty of room for everyone to space out and the life guards are super responsive and attentive, always a police presence as well to keep everyone safe!

Awesome place to drive out on the beach and tailgate out of your truck. Beach is amazing with sand bars, shallow calm spots for little kids, waves for bigger kids, and we found a bunch of sand dollars! Make sure you have a 4X4 do get out to the beach and know how to drive through soft sand. We passed people stuck every time on the way in and out.

Been to beach many times first time using the camp grounds. It was easy check in. But our site could of used a mow/trim, everything else was great. Still have some construction believe Once it is completed it will be totally awesome...definitely will do again

Great city park been going here since I was a kid

Awesome experience to see. Right next to a Navy base so you can see aircraft carriers and cool Navy ships when you are there. Go at low tide and drive on the beach for sure. Well worth it!

Awesome place to visit! There is also a fantastic nature center that is worth checking out!

AWESOME!!!! Fished all day, Got in the ocean for first time in my life, over 30 yrs old. Then my buddy reminded me why I dont go in water( sharks) so yeah that part was over. But it didnt stop my fishing

My favorite beach in Jacksonville. I Love to spend time with my fanily here. And the convenience of having our truck parked closed by, yes in the sand near us!! Camping, BBQ areas, not waves areas and the typical beach. So much to do there!!

We love to go paddleboarding at Huguenot. We paddle just past the bridge and hang out at the sandbar. Its always a good time but we hang out on the flat side because we have a toddler.

Great campground. With nice marsh views and views of the St. Johns River and the naval base.. The family beach could use some cleanup. There are shards of glass all over the place. Luckily no one was cut.

Lots of police presence, love the extra security! Plenty of lifeguards . You can drive on the beach, just pay attention to the time and high tide. No pets allowed only at your campsite. Great park , needs some TLC.

This place is amazing that is all I have to say is its just simply amazing we will be back again soon

Ive been coming here my whole life. Lets just say many (many) years... I love that you can drive on the beach. Usually they keep the flats watered down so regular vehicles can drive across without getting stuck and reach the beach. They are also currently fixing the road access that a hurricane damaged. Theyve increased the cost of entry from fifty cents a person to five dollars a car (Im assuming because of the repair and upkeep costs)

Great time fishing with my husband.

#1 best park/beach in Jax. Keep in mind that the trail is very long and has to be partially completed on the beach! If you dont, you end up back tracking quite a bit.

I truly enjoyed my night of camping at this beautiful park near Jacksonville. Nikki was a pleasure to deal with and helped me pick out the perfect campsite. Even though they were under construction and making improvements, the noise and disruption was kept to a minimum. Walking out onto the spit at dawn I found tons of great opportunities to photograph the nesting birds. Thanks for an awesome experience!

Started to go there since 2015 , it was my favorite beach in America before all these pandemic situation. I miss the time when only few people know about this place, now, it is very crowded and congested.Only 4by4 vehicles are allowed to enter the main beach . We have SUV but didnt allowed us to enter, we had to walk 1000 miles(not really, but felt like it) on the hot, deep dunes. The shore used to be clean and clear but now, it was just a dream .Planning to wait a few years to go back when they allow to enter all wheels drives .

So it was my first time ever camping here we had a wonderful day and early evening, however when we went to sleep well attempt actually. However about every 25 minutes a very low extremely loud helicopter would fly over. We called the office and they said yes and it would continue until morning. Needless to say we went ahead and packed up our stuff and left it was physically impossible to sleep. I so wish this wasnt our experience.

Everyone there was very polite and respectful from the guests to park staff. The shower house was cleaned a few times a day!!!!For a public park the place was near spotless!!!! Pretty sure we are making the trip next year as well

Tried to go surfing here two days ago and almost got stuck at the pass-through. Was told afterwards that the equipment driver that normally packs the road was sick; and so the sand was impossible to drive through for any normal vehicle. My friends and family count on the road being groomed and pay quite a premium for that service, as an entrance fee. They have not answered the phone for the last two days and so cannot be reached to determine if this has been resolved.

Love this park. Beautiful and quiet with calm beaches. Great drive on beach and very Nature pavilion with lots of local treasures. Great place to take your family for a nice day trip or an overnight camping trip. Thank You Jolie who guided us on a nature walk.

We come here every year for a 5 day camping vacation for Memorial Day! I love the fact that you can still drive your vehicle right on the beach so you dont have to carry all of your beach gear... Which is a lot when you have a group of people like we always do.

This is a great place if you have both little ones and big kids. You get the best of both worlds with a calm inlet family beach and the waves of the Atlantic available in the same place. Our favorite beach in Jax!

A very tranquil place when you just need to decompress...

Our new favorite beach. so beautiful. ocean is very clear. sand is powdery and soft.

Very clean and nice place, highly recommended to visit.there is place for camping, fishing, swimming and place for families with kids. a huge place, with alot of choices to choose where is the best place for you to sit and have fun. your car is close to you as well.you can find places to barbecue.we had fun and it will be the place we will go every time we decide to go to the beach or a picnic.

Still open. A great place to get away with your family. Drive onto the beach, put out some chairs and relax. They take cards as well as cash for entry.

Beautiful park. Beyond amazing campground. Some campsites are basically on the beach! My favorite place to camp near Jax. Only downside being the restrictions with dogs (only allowed if camping), but completely understand why.

This is such a special place. The day evolves with the tides and the nesting birds who co habit this beach. The life guards are of a special kind that truly understand the importance of being stationed on their towers. Rain or shine they are there keeping a watchful eye on the ocean.

Beautiful Beach. Very well maintained and clean. Lots of areas to park and access the water.

We just returned from a 4 day camping trip here. We LOVED it! We camped in our little 22 Toyota Winnebago. They now have electricity at every campsite. We were lucky enough to have glorious cool days and didnt need our AC. We did turn on a little ceramic heater as it did dip into the low 50s once. So nice to have electricity. No neighbors with noisy generators! Day and night you can watch the marine traffic pass right in front of you. We were in campsite G, right on the St. Johns River. The campsite map online makes the spots look small, but ours was more spacious that how it looked on the map. We had our own little strip of beach for swimming or fishing. Right on our little strip of beach, there were some concrete pilings leftover from something that was likely destroyed in a storm. Not a problem for us though. Lots of our camp neighbors stayed up late into the night, fishing off their respective strips of beach. We watched sea turtles, porpoises, helicopters, airplanes, cruise ships and freighters. Lots to look at. Clean bath houses. Dump station and potable water available near the bath houses. Next time well bring our bikes as everything is kind of spread out. We live in St. Augustine and were looking for a nearby place to get away. What a great find this place is!I suspect its pretty mosquito-y in warmer weather. We also saw some no-see-ums. We lucked out though with cool breezy weather that mozzies dont like much.Also, watch out for sand spurs!

Camp sites have electricity, which is a huge bonus, especially in Florida in the summer time. Hurricanes have changed the geography from what it used to be but they have worked around that very well. Restroom and shower facilities arent the cleanest but Ive seen far worse. Bring plenty of citronella candles and bug spray for the mosquitos and sand gnats. The only real complaint I have is that the website does not work well on mobile devices and the staff claim the grounds are full when there are 20 or so open spots. Several numbered sites and all but 4 of the lettered sites.

Beautiful view of the shoreline

While visiting from Texas..I saw dolphins, played with crabs & held a Starfish. My favorite beach!

I used to live near Jacksonville Beach, but moved to the Northside about 9 months ago. This is our second time at this beach and we enjoy it more each time. We even think the water seems cleaner than Jax Beach and there are definitely fewer people. I was born and raised in Jacksonville and it takes me back to my childhood. You can actually drive on the beach, which you used to be able to do on Jacksonville Beach.

The beaches are just beautiful!

I love this park. All the nature is beautiful. I love driving directly on the beach. Ask the upgrades to the road campsites and nature center are awesome I will keep returning again and again

Good place to go if you dont feel like hauling a bunch of gear down to the beach. Just park your car and setup right next to it on the beach. We like doing the lake side before the beach for flat water kayaking and paddle boarding. Tidal swings about 40 yards here it seems so dont leave your car parked too close on incoming tides.

Great City park with beaches on ocean side and a protected calm side.

We love to drive on the beach. Its so beautiful here. And people are really nice, if you get stuck, someone will pull you out.

Great beach that we can still drive on. Nice camp ground with clean restrooms.

The facilities have been upgraded and they are clean. The only real issue I had is the 4x4 only on main beach. This out us in the family section which is fine but the water is really nasty because there is no current flow through it to wash anything out of the area.

Love this beach. You can drive right on. Always a great day!

Fun place to camp!

Stopped in on the way to Daytona. Well worth the $5 to go in and explore. We loved viewing the naval ships from across the canal.

What a cool beach & campground...

By far one if not my top places for camping and fishing.. and of course top no doubt for shell searching;)

Great place to stop and take pictures of the ships. The sand and beach looked beautiful and you can even camp here!

Water was excellent for swimming today. People.... take advantage now. Going through the Parks entrance gate was very slow, more than usual but there was a large crowd of cars today at the beach.

Beautiful place to relax and enjoy the view.

My 3 year old loves the pl.

Nice place to camp, campsites were big and bathhouse and rest rooms were clean. Beach driving is convenient but gets crowded. Lots of trash on the beach.

Beautiful white sand, I like a little bay, little kids can swim without any waves, beach is beautiful but was too crowded even on Monday morning and cars are parked right at the water but not near dunes, I didnt like that

New power hook up at the site awesome just need water hook up nice peaceful atmosphere right at the beach

Jetties have always been in my life as being a native of Jacksonville. Best beach ever!

The kids and I enjoyed ourself!

Great beach! We like that you can drive on it

Really cool beach to visit if you are in the area. Lots of beach front to park on and shore to walk along. Protected wildlife/habitat area on one side, good for viewing local waterfowl, but early or later times. The Jetty is where you can find crabs, starfish, hermit crabs, conch, and lots of other sea life. During low tide there are pools along the Jetty that little ones can swim in. At the southeast corner of the park/beach you can see the U.S. Navy base.

Nice place that you can still drive on the beach but it does get crowded so when the tide comes in it gets tight until alot of the visitors leave. 5 dollars a car isnt bad considering theyre charging more than that to park at Jax Beach within 2 miles of the water.

Love this beach for many reasons. Not just swimming. Its a beautiful spot and glad to see it recovering from the hurricanes that wiped out one of the roads to the beach. Rather your fishing, camping, or just having fun in the sun, a wonderful place for family! Just dont forget sunscreen!

Its so beautiful there I love it

Stay and play the day away swimming, fishing, surfing, you name it and you can do it.

Driving on the beach is always the best way to beach with kids!

Peaceful and easy, loved driving on the beach

Its great that the beach restrictions are over. Been forever since an all nude beach was in Jacksonville.

You can drive on this beach. Seems like a popular area. While you may walk, be aware of all the cars. There were a ton of birds the day I went.

Great camping, nice river and ocean beaches.

Kite flying, fishing, swimming ad cooking out on the beach. I like that it is a drive able beach but every time ive been there someone gets stuck in the sand!

Love this place! One of the one beaches you can drive on in Jacksonville. Perfect for kiting and surfing.There are no dogs allowed which is lame and the bathrooms could use some love.

Not a happy visitor. We didnt get here till 530 but we looked and the website said it closed at 7 . They came at 615 and kicked everyone out of the water . Because the park was closing.. yall close at 7 not 630 . If yall are gonna start kicking people out at 615 yall need to stop letting people in at 530 . Look I work the restaurant seen and we may close at 10 but we arent getting out till 11 or later . Keep your employees on till 8 or change up how you do this this was completely bs

What a way to spend a day on the beach. Bring your canopy and a grill and watch the waves roll!!

Nice, quiet, ducked off and picturesque.

Great camping great fishing great customer service all around beautiful place to hang out

Nice place to camp has nigh security. separate showers for paying camper .

You can drive on and its a beautiful place to take the family you can camp even!!!!!

Hands down the best beach ever

Huguenot Park is beautiful. You can drive your car out onto the beach, just make sure to mind the speed limit, and dont drive like a jerk or through the birds (as they nest on the beach).

On this occasion it was crazy flooded... high tides and a hard noreaster. Entrance and access roads were flooded.

We drive from Georgia to go here. Great place. We love that we can drive on the beach. Works well for me as Im a wheelchair user. Everything I need is with us and no long trips from the car to the beach. $5 entry fee. 4x4 is suggested but Ive taken my crosstour with no issues.

Host of park very rude and demanding first time not happy will not recommend because of the way you get treated at entering of park

Love this place. You can have the beach or the lake.

This is a fun and very cool beach. The park was well secured and the beach was beautiful, the wildlife there was gorgeous as well. This included birds, fish, hermit crabs, and squid. The only down side is how many sand spurs there are so if you go keep shoes on your feet. The staff at this establishment is very well trained and friendly. This place is safe and perfect for a nice camping trip. I recommend going here for at least a night.

Love all the sharks teeth and unique shells you find!

Dont go there....attack trees!

Lots of repairs from the 2016 hurricane going on. Nice campground (dry) nonetheless

Love going swimming here. $5 per car

Beautiful, beautiful beautiful! Love this place.

Water was warm. Can drive right into the beach.

Great spot to spend with the family.

Fell in love first day! Shore fishing the river weve caught a bunch of different stuff. Sea turtles come visit the wife standing in the water every single day! We saw a manatee 2 days in a row.We cant wait until they get that electric hooked up, its costing a small fortune in gas for the generator but thats completely our fault for coming here in August!There is dangerous wildlife around, which should be expected & respected. Saw a nice size rattler, coyote & wife got stung couple times by jelly fish, none of which will prevent us from coming back.I do wish visitors would slow down on the drive in though, lots of terrapins here.

Love the Beach.

Great place to bring your kids. There are a ton of birds on the N end of the beach. The lagoon is calm & great to wade around.

Fantastic Beach, friendly staff... Actually the best beach Ive ever been to and I have been to the keys to the Panhandle All Over Florida best beach in Florida hands down! Breathtakingly beautiful.

They NOW Have electricity for Rv camping. So were lovin it.
