The park has more than five miles of beautiful,
white sandy beaches, undisturbed salt marshes, and vegetated dunes.
Maritime forests, desert-like dunes, and the salt marshes on the western
side of the island allow endless hours of nature study and relaxation.
Little Talbot Island State Park is the main park in a
cluster of four state parks near Jacksonville. The campground serves as
the camping facility for visitors to Amelia Island, Big Talbot Island,
and Fort George Island State Parks as well as Little Talbot Island. It
has a full complement of recreational activities and facilities, but
the other parks each provide unique features that can provide days of
additional recreation for visitors.
Nearly 200 species of birds visit the park every
year and, during the summer, sea turtles crawl out of the ocean to
lay their eggs along the beach.
For more information, visit the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection web site.
The park is located just south of Amelia Island.
