James
Lee Park & Henderson Beach State Park
James Lee Park is located within walking distance of the Best Of Destin
Condo. Both James Lee Park and Henderson Beach State Park have one of
Florida's most prized assets, pristine white, sugar sand beaches and more
than 6,000 feet of scenic shoreline bordering the emerald waters of the
Gulf of Mexico.
Located just east of Destin, the parks entrance lies on the Emerald
Coast Parkway (U.S. 98) across the street from a shopping center and a
Super Wal-Mart.
One of the most beautiful sights while visiting the park is a breathtaking
view of a Dolphin family (porpoise) as they emerge from the waters for
a breath of air, or a group of Rays as they soar across the shallow waters
along the coastline.
Activities that visitors can enjoy while visiting Henderson Beach State
Park include swimming, surf fishing, picnicking, camping, bicycle riding,
nature trials, family reunions & weddings, as well as a leisurely
walk in the sugar white sand or in the splash of the emerald green water.
Visitors to coastal parks are reminded to pay close attention to the colored
flags posted at welcome stations and on the beaches. These flags indicate
the wave and swimming conditions at the beach. Red
means no swimming because of high winds or undertow currents, yellow
means swim with caution and stay close to shore, blue
means that the waters are safe.

Blackwater
River State Park
Considered
one of the purest sand-bottom rivers in the nation, the Blackwater River
makes this state park a popular place for swimming, canoeing, boating, fishing,
and camping. In 1980, the park was certified as a Registered State Natural
Feature for possessing "exceptional value in illustrating the natural
history of Florida." It is also home to one of the state's largest
white cedar trees. |
