Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park

Fine-grained, white sand beaches joined by mangrove forests and tidal creeks create a nature lovers paradise at Delnor-Wiggins Pass. This 166-acre state park features beaches lined with sea oats and cabbage palms, along with woodland trails and wonderfully shaded picnic areas. Five parking areas allow for plentiful access to the beach, though it does fill in the winter months. Bathhouses with changing stalls and outdoor showers are located at each parking area. A boardwalk leads out to the pass, offering a grand view of the waterway as well as a great place to fish.

Behind the secondary dunes, acres of oak and palm hammock provide a shady respite and very nice picnic areas. Several hiking trails lead through the woodland area, and one of the trails feature an observation tower that allows the visitor a birds-eye view of the natural splendor of the area. A boat launch provides access to the back bays, Cocohatchee River, and the Gulf of Mexico. Excellent saltwater fishing opportunities can be had both in the waterways and allow the beach by Wiggins Pass.
