there is camping  here....the camp grounds are quiet and face the Atlantic side..can go from tent to ocean in about 100 ft. The rest rooms are clean, There is a gift shop/snack shop..I didn't have a chance to go in..but you can pull your boat up to the snack shop/gift shop from the gulf side.

This was a very pretty park and even when it was busy it was quiet there...

on the gulf side to walk into the water id advise wearing water shoes..lots of rock and pieces of coral..and on the Atlantic side we were there late afternoon there was a lot of seaweed I didn't try to walk in the water i hate the feel of seaweed on my legs.

People were snorkeling with their own equipment right off the gulf beach.....there is no lifeguard on either beach so its swimmers beware....but both sides seemed pretty safe...

Also you can see the expressway from the gulf beach I photographed it..but you can absolutely not hear any of the traffic the beach is quiet.  I just wish I had gotten there earlier in the day it was a peaceful park to visit and I would enjoy to go back and spend a whole day there.

I did not walk any of the paths but other people wre walking them in their bathing suits barefoot who were campers so I assume they were pretty safe.
