Jacksonville, Florida
Big Talbot Island State Park is a nature preserve located on one of Northeast Florida's unique sea islands. It is best known for Boneyard Beach, a striking shoreline scattered with the bleached skeletons of fallen oak and cedar trees. This dramatic landscape, created by erosion, offers exceptional opportunities for photography and quiet reflection away from crowds.
The park is primarily a natural site with minimal development, perfect for birdwatching and hiking. The Blackrock Trail leads visitors through a maritime forest to the unique hardpan soil formations along the shore. A boat ramp provides access to the salt marshes for anglers and kayakers, while the paved Timucuan Trail offers a scenic route for cyclists connecting to neighboring islands.
