A NOTE FROM THE MANAGER

Eric Kiefer

The management and staff would like to welcome our winter season volunteers. We are very lucky to have such hard working and dedicated volunteers to assist us here at the park.
 
We invite you to participate in one of our nature programs January thru March 9th. Please check for dates and times in our Ranger Programs section on the website.
 
On January 20th, as part of the Flagler Centennial Celebration, the 'Bahia Honda Players' will be presenting a reenactment of the history of the Over-sea Railroad. Please check for more information in our Events section.

Be sure to come by the Sand and Sea Nature Center when you visit the park. The nature center has a small marine aquarium and several environmental activities to explore. Kids can become a 'Junior Ranger' and receive a patch by completing the Junior Ranger Activity Book or get a Treasure’s of the Sea Coloring Book (for a small donation). You may want to cool off in the air conditioning and watch a nature video. A staff member will be available to answer your questions.
