Manager's Message

Summer has arrived at Anastasia State Park. With the warmer weather, a lazy walk along our pristine beach with 4 miles of shoreline is a great way to relax, or take a hike on our nature trail. This beautiful maritime hammock ecosystem is the Real Florida untouched by development. Stately Live Oak trees keep the trail canopied throughout the ¾ mile length. See our ancient dunes which are over ten thousand years old. Enjoy Salt Run our lagoon, rent or bring your kayak or canoe for a wonderful experience. Cast-netting for bait fish is very popular, drop a fishing line, kick back and let the fish do their job. Make sure to bring binoculars as there are birds as far as the eye can see. Low tide is an ideal time to observe shore birds feeding in tidal pools. Come to Anastasia State Park and see nature at its best.
