Johnson Beach, located on Perdido Key, is part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore. There is an admission charge for this beach, or you can obtain an annual pass that allows access to the entire National Seashore and its forts. The beach is named after U.S. Army Pvt. Rosamond Johnson Jr., a Korean War hero. The beach itself is broad and covered with white sugar sand; it has shoreline on both the Gulf of Mexico and on the Big Lagoon. Johnson Beach has picnic tables, clean restrooms, and a boardwalk trail that allows walkers to view the beauty of the natural shoreline and to see the wide variety of birdlife in this area. Camping is permitted right on the beach, and some parts of the beach allow campfires.
