Perdido Key State Park is a 247-acre park located on one of the Gulf of Mexico’s barrier islands. These islands are essential for protecting the Florida coastline from storm damage and for providing a habitat to shore and sea birds. This state park offers over two miles of white sand beaches, rolling dunes covered in sea oats, and is optimal for swimmers, sunbathers, and surfers. There are picnic tables and eight covered picnic shelters, restrooms, drinking water, parking, and a boardwalk from the car park to the beach that helps preserve the shoreline vegetation. Surf fishing is permitted here; catch is usually flounder, whiting, pompano, or red fish. There are cold water showers for rinsing off the sand before getting back in the car.
