About Avalon State Park
You know what's really special about Avalon State Park? Did you know that there is more than one mile of increasingly rare undeveloped beachfront? That's pretty magical! It's because of this that Avalon State Park offers a habitat for a host of different species of wildlife. Kids can also learn about conservation here, as the area is also home to threatened and endangered sea turtles. Loggerheads, Atlantic green and leatherback all nest on the beach during summer and spring.
Of course, a place like Avalon State Park is also a great destination for families who love the beautiful outdoors! The waters are great for swimming and snorkeling, and there is plenty of beach for those sunbathers too!
If you would rather be out ON the water, you can launch your own canoes and kayaks from the beach side.
For those who would rather fish, Avalon is one of the best places where you can fish from land! At certain times of the year, you might spot fish migrating along the coast. There are various species including Snook, Bluefish, Permit and Whiting, but if you are going to fish, you must confirm to the regulations.
A beautiful place in the Florida sun, Avalon State Park is all about relaxing, sun, sand, water adventure and lots of family fun, just don't forget that sunscreen!
