GULF ISLANDS NATIONAL SEASHORE, FLORIDA, USA
The famous and spectacular sugar-white sand beaches of Florida.
Gulf Islands National Seashore, Santa Rosa Area, is located between Navarre Beach and Pensacola Beach on FL Route 399.
Avoid driving during windy days, most likely the road is full of sand, also do not pull over to the side (unless you drive a 4x4), the sand is very deep and puffy, only a tow-truck will get you out, and that does not come cheap.
Lots of beaches with free parking.
Gorgeous place to visit and enjoy during your vacation in northwest Florida.

Gulf Islands National Seashore
We stayed at the Fort Pickens Campground on the Gulf Islands National Seashore. Our first time there and we'll, for sure, return next year. Love that it's part of the National Park Service. it cost $14 a night using our Senior Pass, and that included water and electric.
The Gulf Islands National Seashore is home to sparkling blue waters, white beaches and coastal marshes. However, more than 80% of the national park is underwater, as it's a vital protective habitat to marine life.

Gulf Islands National Seashore
This is a short video documentation of a 4 day camping trip to the Fort Pickens Campground on the Gulf Islands National Seashore. Located near Pensacola, this section of Santa Rosa Island is pristine and not saturated with high-rise condominiums, restaurants, and hotels. In addition to some blue water paddle-boarding, I spent some quality time each morning watching Osprey nest with their young. This section of island attracts more than 300 species of birds, and is considered a stopover place for many migrating birds. The Fort Pickens area of northwest Florida is indeed a protected gem in this beautiful state.

Aerial View of Gulf Islands National Seashore in Navarre & Pensacola Beach
You can still find a quiet stretch of beautiful beach to be alone on in Navarre Beach & Pensacola Beach in Northwest Florida. This part of Florida is called the Emerald Coast because of it's emerald green waters. It also has some of the whitest quart sand anywhere in the world. The area is great for canoeing, kayaking, snorkeling, paddleboarding, or just relaxing & listening to the sound of surf & seagulls. There are artificial reefs within swimming distance of the shoreline that attract all sorts of sealife, including everyone's favorites, sea turtles & dolphins.
On one side of this thin strip of land that stretches for many miles is the Gulf of Mexico, & on the other side is the Intracoastal Waterway, commonly referred to by the locals as the sound.
